All I ever wanted was for someone to fight for me

You wonder how girls like me get so messed up?
Well it's because the only person who has ever fought for me
Is me
And that fight
Is the most exhausting battle I'll never escape

I push you away to see if you're like all the others
And you are
I was the fool for thinking you weren't

I was happy until I met you
And you showed me all the things I never admitted I was missing
And now I'm left just missing you
Cause timing is more of a ***** than karma ever was
And she loves to play with the hopelessly devoted

I would have been yours
So easily
All I needed
Was for you to fight me
But obviously that was too much to ask
Because now I hardly mention your name
And all I ever hoped for
You ran away with
And you never looked back

You whispered so close that your breath tickled my lips

"I'm sorry. I get the feeling that you've had to do things on your own. A lot. And I'm sorry that you've been taught to believe that's the way life works. I'm truly sorry. Because you deserved more."

And that kiss you placed on my cheek?
Still burns as if you were next to me right now
