Reflection

Destruction

Your heart knows what you want

But your mind knows what you need,

It's your decision to decide which to follow,

Decide who'll help you when you bleed.

There's just so many problems,

And I'm the escape that everyone needs,

I'm the one to take your mind off things,

I'm the painkiller to everyone's disease.

They say people who are heartless once cared too much,

But you made me want to be a bit more vulnerable,

I thought I couldn't love or trust anymore,

I thought he'd broken me so bad, I was incapable.

I'm not strong enough to stand up for myself anymore and the others...

Because the weight of their mistakes is pushing down on my shoulders.

And I'm the one who has to carry it all.

It's unfair that I have to pick myself up when I fall.

I think what you need right now is a friend.

It's hard acknowledging that all this has come to an end.

That they'll be no more x's and no more hugs,

No more 'baby's', and no more 'loves',

I thought maybe, just maybe, I could depend on you,

Because of all the feelings you were creating,

I understand why you left,

I just don't understand why I'm still waiting.

I didn't mind being strong for you,

Did you just not want to be lonely in your own world?

Maybe I was just your painkiller,

I just didn't realize it had to hurt to be your girl.

I'm confused as to why you keep leaving,

Why my heart keeps getting shoved,

Was I just your escape from reality?

Because you don't destroy people you love.
