The Way I Broke

Take me somewhere

Where you know I’ll be fine

Because without you

I’ll surely die

 

The harsh conditions

In which you left me

Tore me apart

And cast me in stone

 

The way I miss you

And the way you smell

As you walk by

Really makes me want to die

 

But I’ll make it through

To this I have no choice

A choice of living

A choice I have to make

 

Oh

You want me back?

What happened to

“I don’t have time for you”?

 

I loved you

In I way I couldn’t comprehend

Then

But now it feels like it was all for show

 

A title of love

But a heart of regrets

With you it felt like

I was your pet

 

I let you in

I showed a side of me

No one else

Would ever see

 

I let you in

I don’t let people in

You saw this

And you broke me too

 

You took me from me

A person I’d been healing

Throw me back into the missing pieces

Just to tell me it was all a joke

 

I needed you

And you broke me

I needed you

And you just left

 

The fate I had

To be broken forever

Seemed like a lie

But I guess it makes sense now

 

God, this is stupid

The way you made me feel

And yet

I’m still writing for you?

 

“It’s not worth it”

They told me

I wish I had listened

The first time they asked

 

When I see you

I feel sick to my stomach

The place I felt safe

Now I’m lit ablaze

 

I guess I lied

When I said I wouldn't break

But I did anyways

I should have known

 

To feel ashamed

Is an understatement

Now everyone’s asking

“Are you okay?”

 

But to be human

Means to live life

Part of life

Is collecting those broken pieces

 

 

You didn’t fall apart

You didn’t have 

10 fucking breakdowns

Did you even love me?

 

What we went through

I screwed it up

It wasn’t just me

But it sure felt like it

 

I’m just sitting here

Trying to figure out

Why everything happened

The way it did

 

And then everything throws us 

Together again

The flame of pain

Igniting brighter

 

I like being alone

At least

I think I do

I’m better off that way

 

And then I met you

You funny asshat

You brilliant annoyance

The man I loved

 

You changed me

And then you left

And I was broken

Once again
