I thought I was ready, prepared,
But then it came crashing down, I'm scared,
We made the decision together, matured,
But it still hurt, how could it be endured?
I always thought it would be us against the world,
But we're broken, not believing in each other's word,
We spoke a lot, but we didn't listen,
We argued fire fueled driven,
Both wanting to be right,
Our words like fire, lighting that sparks so bright,
You weren't ready to settle then,
And you still aren't ready now, how am I supposed to pretend?
You anger me, you make me sad, you confuse me so much,
You didn't want to give me what I wanted, now it's a rush,
Now that we're apart, you want to offer me the world?
How does that work? How can you play me so, like a child?
My heart belongs to you, and it always will,
But don't break it again, it's very fragile,
I need time to find my true self and my reason,
I need to experience the world as a new person,
Yet my heart aches to be closer to you, in your arms,
To see your smile and feel your touch and all your charms,
It drives me mad, like can't you see my pain?
Don't you realize that what you are doing to me, makes me insane?
I need to break free, spread my wings and leave the complications,
I need air to breathe, space, to not feel like I am suffocating,
You need to stop trying to get back the girl you once knew,
Because she will never come back to you,
I am the reflection of the scars inside, engraved,
And I can't promise that I can be yours once again.
