Mask cracking

I'm constantly trying to change for you
Yet no matter what I do, it's not right
I have tried every route, nothing will do
Ways to appease you are long out of sight
I don't want to hurt you so I stay
But if I stay, it will slowly kill me
Someday maybe you'll change, oh god I pray
Some days you won't be so cold I will see
The mask I'm wearing is slowly cracking

It's cracking from every flaw you always point out
And the ways you grab my arm
And I have bruises from you that you won't even remember doing
All the bruises that I have to hide
All the cutting and scars I hide from because of you
All the nasty words you say like I'm ugly I have no future

Every little thing you do to me I stay
When I try talking to you you scream back
Saying it's not true or I'm a liar

I'm breaking down slowly that I don't know
If I can make it any longer
I don't know why I still try maybe it's because
We use to have a bond at least I thought

Hopefully you find me soon before I go away forever
