Blame?

I'm trying to fight it,
But it's harder than it looks.
The things you think you know,
Life is different than all the books.

All your words
They print on my skin.
I'll be different
When you say it again.

I don't think you realize
The before was before
I'm living a life of lies
And you're not at the core.

Maybe it's me,
But maybe it's you
We are both finding who we will be.
Maybe we aren't aware.

The world outside is trying to hurt us,
Each and everyday
But somehow the backlash of your eyes
Hurts me anyway.

I'm not leaving you behind,
But I'm not staying the same.
I was always the weak link,
But now who's to blame?
