one day i lay on the floor
sobbing in my hands, wondering who i was crying for
you then barge in through the door
and hold me in your arms like you've never done before
(and it rattled and shook me to my core,
leaving me scrambling around for more)
you ask me what's making me feel all blue
while i sob and melt into you like glue
i lied saying it's because i felt screwed
and that there was nothing more that i could do
(but those were mistakes i can never undo
and you'll never know the truth,
because then, i didn't have the guts to say i was crying because of you)
