Don't You know

"It's not you, it's me"
Don't you know
The amount of anxiety
That causes me?
Don't you know
How much that hurts?
Don't you know
It's just a lie?

I made my choice

It was you
Don't you know?

I love you
I care so much
Don't you know?

I tried to fix things
To make us better
To make us okay again
Don't you know?

I guess you don't know
Because
It's not me, It's you
You need time
Because you're
Overwhelmed and stressed
You don't think
You can handle it
You might break again

How do you think I feel?

I'm a leader
Yet no one listens
I'm exhausted
I'm stressed
And overwhelmed
But I'm trying

You don't want to hurt me
But
Don't you know
You are
