I'M Always the One

I try to make you see
I try to make you realize
But no matter how hard I try
You always seem to think differently 

No matter what I do, no matter what I say
I’m always the one who’s wrong
I’m always the one to fall
I’m always the one to blame

When I show you beauty
You show me darkness
When I show you the truth
You show me nothing but lies

No matter what I do, no matter what I say
I’m always the one to drown
I’m always the one to burn
I’m always the one to suffocate

Not this time
This time, I will stand tall
This time, I will will not fall
This time, I will rebuild that wall

No matter what you do, no matter what you say
I’m always the one to laugh
I’m always the one to smile
I’m always the one to love

Strong thoughts. Your resolution to "stand tall" was truly affirmative.
