I know you've been hurt
I see the emotional scar
You know I'm here for you
Yet you keep me afar

We've seen the same struggles
and we share the same ways
Out here looking for love
but love never stays

I've made my attempts
at being your high
Still you refuse to see thee
and turn a blind eye

There is pain inside you
which you can confide in me
If you only gave thought
to what we just might be

So in my last pleas
for you to open your eyes
Make me your main squeeze
let my love be your surprise

You're cute
and you know it
tempting
and alluring
under my skin
but I won't give in.
You're no good
no, not for the real me
I'm really not sure
who I was trying to be
just to ease this pain.
But ***
with you-
basically a stranger,
no, that won't do.
You say "friends with benefits".
More like- "benefits"
because we're not friends.
You talk so *****
that I have to scrub myself clean
because that's just not who I am
nor will it ever be.
So, I'm changing my mind.
You'd get what you want
and I'd still be alone
tell me,
what's the benefit in that?

Forgive me for wanting to be loved,
and not just ******.

a liar in love
a crow in the cold
beginnings ascend
from the carcass of folly
what remains is the will
what survives is what
was there all along
courage is knowing
