Caressing my thighs as your lips spill lies
I'm trying.
Stroking my hair while you pretend to care
I'm lying. I'm lying to myself.
You seem so perfect
But you always hurt
I'm confused
Are you using me?
Your lips on my skin
Make me lose what's within
I'm so used
To being abused
My memories are
Crooked smiles
Walking miles
I'm trying to find myself
But all I see
Are empty beer bottles
And bloodied knives
I've been losing myself
It's so simple
I wish I'd seen sooner
You're out kissing her
While I press on my bruises
So quick to please
When I began to hate me
They drove me crazy
I made it easy
It's burning
How long it took to see
That my former self
Was so set on dying
It hurts me
To even see you now
You say you missed me so much
I still can't see how
You remind me of Blood Oranges
Such a bitter taste in my mouth
I had to use so much sugar
Just to drown you out
You seem perfect
But you always hurt
I still get confused
What did you do to me?
Seeing your face again
Brings so much drama
Baby, you're so toxic
You've caused so much trauma
