PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Verse 1 (1st)

a corset of perfect's tied tight around you

you make yourself seen so others can be

happiness is something that i often need too

but you think i want it so we cannot be



desire can be a wonderful experience

but needyness is pain in each sense of the word

your games leave me in perpetual diffidence

where my discomfort is seen but not heard



Chorus 1

i was never a selfless altruist

nor had i been a self-loathing introvert

but you made me feel that reckless abandon

of caring and concern for anothers being

while making me hate what i am

and what i cant be



Verse 1 (2nd)

but it wasnt your fault

if you even did it

more likely than all

i caused this myself



but you did reject me

you lay claim to that

one way to protect me

was to not get involved



but i gave it a shot

and now that its paying

i realize i never thought

about talking things through



you being selfish

when you let me go

i just never noticed

that we're unfamiliar



communication is what

we needed back then

we have it now but

its far too late to fix



Chorus 1

i was never a selfless altruist

nor had i been a self-loathing introvert

but you made me feel that reckless abandon

of caring and concern for anothers being

while making me hate what i am

and what i cant be



Verse 2 (1st)

i had figured out that it was never your fault

but now i know too that it was not my frailty

the blame belongs to no one in this

culmination of shortcomings in young love



Bridge

so i slowly make this beautiful egression

coming out of the cave that was so easy to hide in

and i climb from the deep caverns of depression

cause now i know i have myself to confide in



Chorus 2

and i have to thank you

cause for as bad as you fucked me up

i learned some things about myself

these are lessons that i wont soon forget



Chorus 2

and i have to thank you

cause for as bad as you fucked me up

i learned a lot of things about myself

these are lessons that i wont soon forget
