Broken pieces

Chasing game

Hot then cold 

Close then far away 

One second you open up to me 

The other you're as hard to read as a book dipped in cement 

I chip and chip away at it 

Trying to break through your walls 

Trying to reach into your heart 

But the light appears as fast as it's gone 

Somewhere deep down I know that you're suffering 

You said no one could cheer you up

But I don't believe it

I don't want to give up on you 

I wanna care for you 

I want to show you how much you matter and how incredible you are 

I wanna be here for you but why don't you let me? 

I chase and battle and chase and fight 

Only for you to throw all this effort away in a single sentence 

I don't intend to be your knight in shining armor or something as grandiose as that 

I just want to make the pain a little easier 

The loneliness a little less 

Because I know how it fucking feels 

But you never let me 

Our relationship is a chasing game 

But I'm the only one chasing you
