A part of me knows that the way your lips curl up into that sly smile foreshadows my destruction
I see the pain in you
The weight of the world lives inside you and it's tearing you to shreds right in front of me
It's not that I think I can change it or make the hurt that constricts you loosen it's chains around your broken soul
I guess there was just a part of me that hoped you wouldn't embrace me while you let it crush your bones
I'm not the comfort you're looking for
I'm just a kid with a ****** up head and a tendency to fall in love with the idea of being the comfort you seek and I hate it
It's always so difficult to let someone else in and every time I know it's a shattered image of love but I keep trying
That smile, that comfort, that breathy voice on my neck that I'm all too aware will break me
Maybe I should just let go
I never really know
