I am hurt and confused but I shouldn’t say a word
I hurt you more, I hurt you first
I wasn’t aware, oh but you were
Yet I hurt you more, I hurt you worst
I gave her a face, pretty poise and graced,
I see it some nights, with yours in the way
But have the perfect retort for that, wouldn’t you say?
“How many times was I haunted by your mistake?!”
It’s frustrating when you say this is not what I deserved
When every reaction of yours screams it louder than any words
When every time I trip or fall
I’m reminded you tripped most of all
To forgive you is to forgive me
Can’t have that, can we?
You say I’m changed, yet you can’t say it’s okay
and you should know that’s all I need to hear you say
But that’s not how it works, is it?
It’s only okay when you’re in the right mood to dismiss it
But when I’m desperately clawing for air
and all I’m given is a handful of despair
I forget why I’m staying, it’s useless
Compared to this, death is much less ruthless
