Lied There and Stared

Tried to sleep but couldn't 
Just layed there and stared 
Don't know what I was thinking 
Don't know what I was expecting
Constant disrespect I can't stand you none the less
It's me, I let many take advantage of me
What I get for wearing my heart on my sleeve
Just laying down staring 
Thinking about the hurt 
Wondering what I did to deserve 
I'm angry I have the urge
But I'm resisting 
But I keep picturing me hitting you
It's so tempting
You're so damaging and selfish
You'll never under why it's come to this
Turned over to other side
There's tears in my eyes
I can't watch anymore 
My heart is too sore
It's harder to breathe 
You were never there
But just remember I was always there anytime you'd need
So now let me be

"You're so damaging and selfish...But just remember I was always there anytime you'd need So now let me be"..I don't know if I would want to be there with this person..Sometimes people just don't grow up or change and it is best to let them go..Thanks for the visit to my page..I actually have a heart problem..A tumor in my heart and a hole in there between the right and left atrium..Have a great day..Sara
