Please don't pretend to be someone you are not.
My knight in shining armor, HA! Do you think I forgot?
The way you gave me time only when it was convenient,
Or how you said you loved me, never quite sure if you mean it.
And when I asked for attention, what was it you said?
Oh yes, I'm too needy, you'd rather do anything instead.

Let's not pretend to be something we never were.
The good never outweighed the bad, that's for sure.
We were never great, though people thought so,
We were mere actors, quick to put on a show.
And the love, well, the love was simply a prop,
But when the lights dimmed, and the people left, the love would always stop.

I will not pretend to be someone I am not.
Though I fear I've been under you so long, that may be all I've got.
But I will do my best to no longer let you hurt me,
I will be strong when you say you need me and you're sorry.
I am not convenient, I am not your runner-up,
I am strong, smart, and beautiful, I am your biggest **** up.
