I don't think you value me
You act like you do just to keep me
You toy with my emotions at your pleasure
You'd rather have me around than face reality
You're just as empty and lonely as I am
You see the love I have for you in my eyes
So you've set out to use me
You hurt me when you feel low and bad
You constantly keep my mind in turmoil
You take it as a game you play for funYou're no longer with me
I can't feel your presence
The feeling of you by my side
The warmth of your presence
It's all gone away from me
As swift as the blow I felt
As sharp as your piercing words
Only the shadows of you remain
Only sweet hurtful memories
Only the pain of what was
Nothing will ever be the sameTell me you won't abandon me
Promise you'll stay by my side
You won't leave me alone
Tell me you'll be there on tough nights
When I have to cry myself to sleep
Tell me you'll shield me from the pain
Promise not to leave me
Promise to protect me
Tell me I won't have to cry anymore
Tell me the pains would go awayYou would never be good enough
Trust me little girl I know this
Your actions would always be judged
Your intentions questioned at every turn
No one would understand your version
No one would ever know what keeps you going
They would never know what makes you different
They would bring you down at every turn
They see a little girl to be intimidated
Your will to be great is all you have
Friends and family will fail you
All you have to believe in is yourselfPeople say step into the light
And let your true face be seen
I say step into the darkness
Let your demons come out to play
There's a hidden darkness in us all
Denying it just makes it stronger
