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.
