I get it, I give up.
I’m waiving the white flag.
I get it. I understand.
You’re the best I’ll never have.
Life has disappointed me.
I’ve been the best I’ll ever be.
It’s ok – I can take it.
Life’s way more than
I can ever make it.
This is all there is,
all that ever was.
I surrender to the truth
There’s nothing left for us.
I’ve taken falls
Lost almost everything
What have I learned?
All that remains
Is all I’ll ever need.
I reach to pick up the pieces
Getting cut by the broken edges
I don’t know how I got here
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
You give it everything you have
And you fight until the battle’s won
But what if you’ve given all you can?
Yet the war has only just begun
I put up all these walls around me
Making barriers and building shields
I don’t want people to see my bruises
All my failures would be revealed
Love and success are all I’ve ever wanted
The reason behind all this change –
So I pick up the pieces and glue them together
With the hope of being whole again.
Here I am
Thinking of you
Again
Wishing you’d have
Saved me
From him
Had you been here
In my life
He wouldn’t have
Here I am
Wishing for you
Wanting us back
This is my plea
My last cry
For help
Please show me
Say something –
Reach out
This is my
Final cry
For you
Show me somehow
Say anything –
Soon.
Just in case you forgot
I’m still right here.
Missing you –
Missing us,
Whatever we were.
Feeling you
Forgetting me.
I just wish you knew,
I just want you.
And I want you –
To be happy.
