Text You Back
I don't always text you back because I'm not available emotionally
When I push you away, it means I want you close to me
I've been hurt so much, I'm unable to love like most
I can't always text you back, so I understand if you Want to go
I can only hold you for so long, because I need my space
We can write our chapter, but it'll take a long time to complete a page
Depression has me as a hostage, everyday I'm at war with myself
I've felt more sadness than happiness, my heart has been broken more than held
I thought I had the right to play girls because my mother was never there
But now I realise when I made these girls suffer, it was unfair
Every day I wish I could go back to my younger days and not cheat
But how could I commit knowing I was giving them a heart that bleeds?
I think of the perfect things to say but I don't know how to say them
I've never seen love, so I'm unable to display them
I want to be able to give you all of me, but I'm always reserved
It's impossible to give someone your all when you've been hurt
I want to provide you happiness and less problems
But running away from my broken heart is your best option
I've came to the realisation I'm destined to be alone
I try my best to get it right, but I always end up getting it wrong
I don't always text you back because I'm not available emotionally
When I push you away, it means I want you close to me
I've been hurt so much, I'm unable to love like most
I can't always text you back, so I understand if you Want to go
