I wish I would've said it
Just cleared the air
I was so scared to break you
But too blind to care
I painted me wiser
And covered my eyes
•
Shrouded in shame
•
Proud of my pain
•
Layered with lies
The tears that dried and stained our skin
The cracks that grew and spread us thin
The pace at which I run from it
The memories I can't stomach
The harm that I've done
The shell I've become
The beast that stays on my heels
Reminder that's all too real
Of harm that I've done
Of what I've become
This wasn't what I wanted
Or what you deserved
And I was so sure I could fix it
Before you returned
•
But with bricks and mortar
•
We sealed our borders off
The tears that dried and stained our skin
The empty room where love had been
The pace at which I run from it
The memories I can't stomach
The harm that I've done
The shell I've become
The beast that stays on my heels
Reminder that's all too real
Of harm that I've done
Of what I've become

No It's all wrong
Sunken and slow
You turn your eyes away from here
Fought for so long
It's all wrong
No it's all wrong

Making excuses for dragging it out to the point that you stop handling it carefully, until it’s so far gone that you realize it ended a long time ago and you hurt them more tryin...
