Why are the worst feelings from people
who were supposed to give you the happiest ones?

I've learned to walk on eggshells
the pain becomes bearable once you realize that it won't go away.

Stop telling kids that they'll "understand when they're older" when
they've understood all along

You were so damn perfect to me.
You were so damn perfect.

When my mother told my father's brother to leave
and he didn't
I declared, I will NEVER allow someone to invade me 
in any way

I let you walk past every barrier since the day you said you loved me

you also said that I wouldn't get hurt

i'm feeling the worst pain humanely possible

Our footprints were washed away by crashing waves
waves of disappointment

the worst thing about hearing voices is that i can't tell them to leave.

for you they left. no debate

my parents insist that I'm heading down the wrong path
a child follows the path they see fit.
I've been dragging through the mud
mud they made themselves
to make it to a place I saw fit

you fit in this place like a glove

you were never supposed to hurt me. 
the wound I've been bandaging since I've thought about losing you
hasn't even started healing

Why are the worst feelings from people
who are supposed to give you the happiest ones?
