Give Me Back Myself

July 27th, 2009

You break me down to my weakest point
And I want to lock the door
But there’s no reason
Things still get in
I still get out
I’ve told you most of who I really am
Things I’ve never said in person
Things I’ve never wanted to write
I’ve told you
But it didn’t mean anything
I’m still just some girl
We’ll never be close
You don’t even try
And I don’t want to be
You trick me so much
You force me to trust
And it feels right at the moment
Then by the end, I feel empty
I feel I’ve said too much
I’ll never get it back
I’ve lost that part of myself
I never wanted to give this much of me to anyone
But for some reason it was you
For some reason you were different
But really you’re no different than anyone else
You only let me down
You make me make mistakes
And I don’t know if you’re one
But it feels like you are
I’ve grown miserable again
And it started because of you
I don’t want to take the blame
Could this really be my fault
You never let it stop
I got too caught up
And you don’t even care
About how much I care
And I don’t know why I do
There’s just no reason to
I’ve tried to let go
But you trick me again
I can’t wait ’til you leave
Because maybe this might end
And it may sound mean
That I want you to go
But I’m sick of holding on
To someone I don’t know

I’m Just Too Young

March 14th, 2009

It’s hard to deny
You know the words better than me
Even without reading it
Even though this is my story
I’d call it an accident
Maybe just a mistake
But these emotions I can’t hide
And these feelings I can’t fake
If this meant anything to you
I think you would have let me know
Your actions never mean anything
And your feelings never show
I don’t know who you are
Because I fell for just your lies
I’m stupid for believing you
Just because you looked me in the eyes
And I know I don’t need you
It just feels like it though
And everything I feel for you
Is nothing that you care enough to know
Maybe I’m just too young
Maybe I’ll never understand you at all
But I’m sick of laying down at night
Just wondering if you’re going to call
I tell myself
I need to push through
No matter how hard I try
I’ll never be enough for you

Accessory

March 1st, 2019

She joked that she’d always love me
In sickness and in health
And I lounged hungover in her robe
Before I passed out on her couch
And when I drove away
I never knew it’d be for good
One year flew by too fast
With memories of texts misunderstood
And the bridges we burned
But the love never fades
In a friendship left barren
Is this too late to save
And I keep the earrings
That she never wore
In the trunk of my car
Because I don’t want to forget her
Close, but not close enough
I keep the memories locked up
But what a crime that two people that love one another
Can find a day where they don’t know each other
