I Sew Myself Shut

Iv torn myself open,
as i have countless times before,
but this time i thought as different
but you ended up slamming the door.

I decided to try,
and keep my mind open,
but in the end all i got,
was a heart that was broken.

you made me believe,
that this could be it,
that you were that guy,
that i could finaly live.

i tore myself open,
i wanted to believe,
that this was the guy,
the one who wouldnt leave..
but once again, im in a rut,
as i mend my heart,
and as i sew myself shut..
