Brooke - DC

You disappear for weeks.
Come back and I'm still worried.
Tell your friend, you're fine, but not me.
I've missed you but it's obvious I'm not the man you need.

I've felt broken for a few days.
And can't get over the way my feelings have swayed.
Even my sky is grey.
I thought you knew my pain.

You didn't know shit.
You couldn't care less about it.
I've seen this a thousand times.
Leave me for the others who don't love you.
Treat me as a broken tool, I'm just a fool for you.

I've lost you.
But you've been on my mind.
I've tried being fine.
But I don't think I am anymore.
All of my struggles are starting to Combine.

When I was with you, everything was okay.
I didn't have a world of pain.
Or weight to my name.
Or a loss to gain.
It was just you and me, forever lost, a victim to your games.

I want to cry.
But I also want to ask you why.
Why did you try to cheat on me.
Why you thought it was okay to disagree.
That even though you've been gone, that you could delete what used to be.
It isn't what I knew, i've planted too many seeds.
No escape from my garden of misdeeds.

Baby, I'm lost without you.
I don't know what to do.
I would break all the rules.
Just to be with you once more.
I wanna hold you close.
Raise my hands in a toast.
Take you on a trip across the coast.
Lost in my head, dreaming of all I could be.
Thoughts haunting every inch of me.
Pushing past the wants and the needs.
I wanna be something, to you, im nothing.

I love you.
I miss you too.
You don't know it, but it's cruel.
The way love has me in its grasp.
Cause I know, even if I had you, we'd never last.
I'm tired of being everyone's outcast.
It's a reality I can't outlast.
A truth I can't move past.

You know me but you don't.
You say you love me, but you won't.
I tired of this struggle.
Living life in this bubble.
Waking up under emotional rubble.
Trying my best to avoid legal trouble.
But I love you, even if you don't want to see into the huddle.
At the thought of you, I still crumble.
I love you, I didn't stutter.
I need you but you still stumble.

Lost in your eyes.
Those eyes on other girls and guys.
Forgive me and forget me.
I want you back, tears on the four ply.
I need you, to you I'd never lie.
Baby, hold on, I don't wanna say goodbye.
