Relationships Weren'T Meant To Last

I wish I could tell you, If only you could see The things I tell you don't come from the real me I wish I could say all the things I hold inside But who would I be without a wall to hide? To you I'm just an object, a thing that doesn't feel When will you wake up an see my feelings are all real They come from a place, a place you'll never go A place from which I hide, a place i'll never show I share it in my poems because I'm too damn weak To walk right up to you, open my mouth and speak I would wish on every shooting star or every penny that I find But none of them will force me to say what's on my mind. I know you're not a mind reader and I expect a lot But I'm not asking you for anything that you're not I guess I just need courage or a shoulder to cry I just want my friend back, or the man I could rely I want him to remember me for more than just my body Because to be honest my personality isn't all that shoddy What I'm really saying is, I don't actually want you I want a guy who'll treat me just the way you used to.
