Crazy Imperfections

How could I have sacrificed the rest of my life when I let you go? My world all the sudden felt empty, how was I supposed to know? All I thought about was running far away from my feelings for you My self worth was non-existent, how was I supposed to believe you loved me too? Some words begin to betray the mind, and lonely thoughts begin to build You are just so far away; you left me feeling like I was stranded in an empty field As much as I am bitter towards you, I also know that I would sacrifice all I could I’d even give up my life to you, don’t doubt for a second I would All these contradictions are confusing to me, trying to measure up to what you think I am But not sure if I can ever be everything you think I can I don’t want to let you go, but I also don’t want to be weighted down by expectations Just love me for me, with all of my crazy imperfections
