Break
You're supposed to understand me better than I do myself
Maybe if you just lent me a hand and helped
maybe then these questions in my psyche would no longer float
Every night these feelings come afloat whether you know it or not
Though worse when I was young, they creep over the surface with hope
Hope that they can pit me against certain names, ultimately playing me as if I was strung
Tuned to the songs we sung, the games we played and the rhymes we said
I can quote your words from the letters I read
These days and even then I wanted you to step up as a man
And late at night them tears crept up because I wanted to be apart of your plan
Had you within reach, but like sand you escaped from my grasp
Without you I was all but lost but for you I had to stand tall like a man
I stood in the image of your ideal perfection
I will be your "Buddy" if it meant more love and attention
And still you chose a different direction
You created more
Leaving me feeling as though I wasn't enough
Because they'd get what I so hardly fought for
When you asked how I felt I knew faking this one would be tough
Said I was happy but deep down I wished my tears would force me to drown
Those same tears were filled with so much hate and burned as if their goal was to melt my face
Cause any likeness of you their goal was to evaporate
So while you gave life I began to crack
So back away because your change has caused me joy but more pain
And sometimes I ask myself if my jealousy is insane
But my crystal frame has been battered
I'm preparing to shatter
No matter how sophisticated and mature I become you have no idea what I endure
So tell me more and do more because my frame was built to intake
But I warn you one day I have no doubt that you will innate me to break
