all the other boys
who've claimed they love me before
had always said i ask for too much
even though i only crave respect, love, honesty and loyalty
nothing more
some days
i think to myself
maybe i am too much
but then something inside of me
snaps way too quickly
as if my heart is screaming
"you don't need to beg for what you deserve
honey, leave them be
if all they ever do
is make you hurt"
and so now, i wonder
would you try to understand
what i've been through
would you accept me for who i am
would you also say i'm too much to handle
or would you stay and love me anyway
unthreatened of the way i love myself
