nobody told me that to fall in love,
i had to fall apart.
that i needed to cut away pieces of me until i fit perfectly into your arms.
that I had to sand down my rough edges
so my hand could fit into yours.
nobody told me that to fall in love,
i had to lose my favourite parts of me
to be yours.
that i had to chip away at my passions and desires to make room for yours.
i had to follow your dreams,
there was no room left for mine.
nobody told me that to fall in love
i had to become someone i didn't want to be.
sacrifice every moment,
give it all to you.
but what was most important; nobody told me that this wasn't how love was supposed to be.
you should have told me that losing myself would hurt more than being alone.
