Don'T Hurt Yourself Please Hurt Me Instead

You can't hurt me twice if you have hurt me once, as only the past controls this influence I can see that you feel bad so I show empathy fixing your guilt must mean I ignore me You made a mistake and it's what I believe please don't feel bad that you cheated on me You are clearly stressed out so I give sympathy I guess looking at you means I'm blocking out me I absorb your pain so from it you are freed loving you means you matter more than me Months will go by and you'll do it again, I'll forgive you as I did back then And then you just cheat knowing what will happen I show more empathy ignoring the pattern You'll take me for granted as I stop your sorrow and I'll treat you so good even though I feel hollow I'll make up my mind and decide it's time to go, and be the greatest thing you no longer know Because you cheated and cheated again and again, the control that was yours became mine in the end Now I'm done with you and I'll never come back, and you'll love me when I'm gone, I'll never come back You had control of the relationship on which I depend but you're dependant after I say we end You say I can't forgive and then change my mind, you claim you're heartbroken and I was unkind
