Broken

Caged

Is it time we finally give this up?

'Cause I'm so tired of second guessing "us."

I'm afraid our love has turned to dust

Now it seems impossible to pick it all up.

The darkness stole your heart from me,

And something's hiding underneath.

The more I try to save you,

the harder it becomes to breathe.

I don't wanna blame you,

But we both know I have to.

I had no hand in creating you,

You could've saved yourself with the truth.

Smearing my lipstick alongside your face,

I'll be crying when I walk away.

You turned us into monsters

But I'm the only one stuck in this cage.

I swear I tried with every muscle,

Every vein.

To put us back together and pretend I'm not in pain.

The sky fell down on top of us.

Now we're trapped in rage and lust.

You should've seen this coming.

You had so many chances but you hit the ground running.

You chose to stay inside of your own self-destruction,

and now your emotions can no longer function.

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

This monster wasn't supposed to take your place.

But part of you was eager enough to let it stay.

Now I'm damaged and you're to blame.

You gave in and sealed your fate.

You refused to try harder to make me stay.

There's nothing left now anyway.

It's been far too long to still call this a mistake.

You ruined everything we made.

I tried so hard to fight for it,

But you'd rather throw it all away.

You traded ''us'' for a moment of weakness and greed.

A moment that turned into days and then weeks.

Weeks turned to months and years

and all of that time I sat waiting right here.

You showed no shame in your selfish ways.

Empathetic to my constant pain.

Your lack of remorse and trying to change,

Says everything I already knew but was too afraid to finally face.

You said that monsters could never get to what we have made,

No matter how much they're filled with hate.

You must've forgotten about that,

While you were lying so naturally to avoid your mistakes.

Now I'm being ripped apart at the seams.

And you haven't even noticed a thing.

You broke me permanently with these games.

And now I'll never look at you the same.

I hope the guilt sets in someday and you finally recognize the disaster you became.

without my strength to keep you at bay,

You'll always remain a monster in a cage.
