Contradict Myself


To atop thinking about you 

Would be fatal

But if I keep doing things my way 

I'll be dead tomorrow

 

You make my life worth living 

But youre killing me inside

I can't live without you but

Loving you is causing me to die

 

Love, hate, concentrate

What the hell am I going to do

Stop, think, listen, wait

This will affect you to

 

I have a plan; No you don't

This will work; No it won't

Contradictions are filling my head again

I stop thinking andmy heart goes dead

 

Forced to think of you

To keeop my heart beating

Trying not to recall the

Thought ofyou leaving

 

Fabricated memories

Help to hide a haunted past

I woud try to forget them

But they are all I have

 

They try to tell me 

That I am better than this

But I know that they are lies

So they shouldn't exist

 

Lies are my cryptonite 

But it is lies that I bleed

I even lie to myself

Not caring that it's poisioning me

 

Arguing with myself reminds me of you

My human opposite
