I let

You in

Under

My skin

And I know

You’ve been

Nothing

But a pain

 

I feel

Stupid

Trust

Injured and

I know

You’d still

Hold on

To me

 

You don’t want

Anyone

But me

When I can’t stand

On my own

Two feet

You should’ve known

I’d pick up

And leave

It’s your fault

You’d love anyone

But me

 

I fought

Endless

Battles

Reckless

And I broke

Limits

Running

To you

 

You caught

Feelings

But thought

That healing

From your ghosts

Meant

Stumbling

And falling through

 

You should’ve chose

Anyone

But me

When I’m gone

You will all

Get to see

Why I don’t

Live alone

With Misery

Why I don’t

Wanna be

Your anchor

Lost at sea

Your encore

Or anyone

But me

 

We tried

And tried

 

I cried

And cried

 

You’re supposed to be

On my side

 

But you’re a thorn that reaches

Into my mind

 

When I’m gone

You will all

Get to see

Why I don’t

Live alone

With Misery

Why I don’t

Wanna be

Your anchor

Lost at sea

Your encore

Or anyone

But me

Why I don’t

Wanna be

Your anchor

Lost at sea

Your encore

Your spotlight

Your playtime

Your melody

Your white horse

Or anyone

But me
