don't sell your soul to him because
he'll turn around and let go of it the
first chance he gets, and it'll
be 3 am and your skin is ripping off
your heart and your bones are
crunching but you can't change
anything.

it's too ******* late,
because he's stolen your
innocence when he stole your
soul and you'll never be the same
again, no matter how hard you try.

i hope one day you realize
that he doesn't define you,
that when he grabbed at your pants
he didn't take away your
worth.

and no matter what happened,
no matter how many times you invited him
back to watch a movie, or go for a walk,
it was never your fault,
IT WAS ALWAYS HIS FAULT AND
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
CARRY THE WEIGHT ON YOUR
SHOULDER LIKE YOU'RE ATLAS
HOLDING UP EVERY SINGLE BIT
OF THE WORLD, BUT YOU DO
AND I'M SO SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO.

IF I COULD I WOULD CARRY ALL OF
YOUR WEIGHT AND MORE, JUST
SO YOU COULD BE FREE, BUT
THE WORLD ISN'T LETTING ME
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

JUST REMEMBER THAT HE IS NOTHING
COMPARED TO YOU, BECAUSE YOU
ARE THE SUN AND HE ISN'T EVEN A SPECK
OF DUST FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE OCEAN.
