Trauma Bonding

You deserve so much better, by far

I see your face light up when you speak of him

And for a second I think it's perfect

But then an hour later I see that same spark dim

And we tell you to be direct

But anxiety is shit

And he's your star

And you always submit

You deserve so much better, by far

He ignores your texts

But you're still typing

Ignoring our protests

As you keep on gripping

Onto that last shred of hope

Cause he has that charm that scars

And a heart that's broke

You deserve so much better, by far

He was talking to her

When it should of been you

But here we still are

You dreaming of the times of just you two

Hoping for the best

While drowning in tar

Wanting to pass the invisible test

You deserve so much better, by far

I worry

Because you don't deserve this

Not the hurry

Not the hesitant kiss

You don't deserve the manipulation

And I wish you could see yourself as your own star

A wonderful creation

You deserve so much better, by far
