I just want to get her out of my mind
She is just like everyone else
They walk into my life like it was a museum
Ignoring the signs telling them not to touch
She hasn't been to the most fragile collection in my gallery
I cannot afford to scrub her memories and fingerprints out of the bones in my delicate pieces
You watched my artwork like it was magic
And I watched you like maybe you could save me
But the more I stare, the more I see
You were never once looking at me
You were looking at your reflection
Looking at the flaws in yourself that you hoped I wouldn't see yet exposed them to me
If you had looked a little closer and payed attention
You could have seen that I was broken
Masquerading as a whole person
I lied, I'm not okay
I lied, I need you to talk to me
I lied, It honestly bothers me
I'm sorry.
But you're just like everyone else
Wanna look inside
Wanna stay a little while for the warmth
Wanna carve your initials on the wall
Gonna leave this place in shambles
Memories scattered amongst the art
Memories will be added to the art
The next visitor will do the same
Each one taking pieces of my heart
