Take me as I am
Don't take me with a plan to fix me
You don't know what I need to feel secure yet
You say you want to protect me from my past but we can't even last a day without arguing
I feel the anger brewing inside of me
You never confide in me
You only lie to me
Yet you survive in me
My pride is telling me to put you aside
But it would be a lie if I said I didn't want you
The thought of you taunts me in ways I've never felt before

Like a lion eats its prey you've mangled me
Hands around my neck you've strangled me till death do us part
And I hope that part stung
Like a bee you've stung me on the inside
All it took was one sting to break the skin and bring tears to my eyes
It should come as no surprise that you too would die and no longer could fly
But you wings were already broken so take this token of gratitude for flying anyway
Who's to say what's broken can't be fixed?
And what's mending can't be mixed by lending your love?
Because love is one hell of a drug
And you've got one hell of a mug that makes me smile
I haven't felt this way in a while
So while you take the time to find what was missing in me
Know that I was right there in plain sight wishing you would fight for we
