Looking back and seeing how we didn’t mean anything I recollect the words you used to keep me in I loathe you for putting the bait on the hook I hate myself cause I’m the one who bit and didn’t look I should’ve swam away, when I had the chance When I had the chance, I asked you to dance. From the first night when I looked at you I saw nobody else The rooms were always empty that’s a thing I couldn’t help I should’ve ran away, when I had a head start You took my hand, squeezed it, and then you took my heart. I’ve lost battles before But none have hurt me more…
Should I blame you for the lies or myself for believing them? Should I hate my friends? Or hate myself for leaving them Who do I put this on? Who deserves this pain But from loss, within it is there something that we gain? You wanted one for the books, then here it is I hate you and I hate feeling like this. I hate the fact that you toyed with me yet I implore… And I hate the fact my heart screams that it loves you more.
I can’t be repetitive in my words, but I was so in life Doing the same thing for three years and thinking I could get it right. For the past 1000 days there is only one way I have felt I looked at you and you always looked at someone else. That’s why I have to turn away, Ignore the things you might say. Ignore what I might think Before I start to sink. I tend to love hard, and I lament even deeper I fell down the mountain, but I guess her slope was steeper. You made me feel like I wasn’t carrying enough weight Does she do it all for you? I guess that’s why with her you stay.
If it’s what makes you happy I can say it makes me too, But we both know that lying is not something I can do. There’s so much good here, but not good enough How can someone break me down, then inspire me to get tough? I never wanted more for myself, but I always wanted the best for you And I set upon doing things the best that I could do. Oh to be so close, to be actually in the race. Only to find, “the pain of second place.”
