instead of butterflies, i have knives
its this overwhelming, sickening feeling deep inside.
instead of a smile on my lips, i have tears in my eyes and new scars on my thigh.

you used to ruin  my lipstick but now my mascaras on my cheeks and my knees are weak
i cant even look at you without getting so dizzy i cant see 

and i cant sleep because every time i close my eyes i see yours

and im constantly reminded just how much you didnt love me

and it hurts

but ill tell you im fine

because really, i dont mind

just as long as youre happy, ill accept whatever you throw at me

no matter how much i want you to be mine

and youll never see how broken i really am because ill pretend im okay

you shattered my heart but ill pretend it didnt phase me

to see you with her kills me

to know you dont even care dug my grave

and the look you give me now lowers me down

why am i so hurt but you get to be okay?

you were supposed to be different but thats something ill never say

 you shouldve been different

you hurt me so bad but youll never know 

and youll never know that youre the first and last thing i think about every day and how much that hurts 

11:11 and i pray for you to love me back but it doesnt work that way

so ill just pretend im okay
