Loving Me For Me

You miss it

Miss me

The way I used to be

But I don't remember

Can't recall

A time at all

When I wasn't this

Wasn't the way I am now

You stand there

You stand here

And it just isn't the same for you

You tell me

And I can't remember

When this wasn't

What you wanted

You want the truth

But when I give it to you

You break down

You can't take it

And I can't fake it

I love you

And you know I do

Killing myself

Bending over backwards

To be

Just what you wanted

Me to be

You have two choices

You can stay

And take me

The way

I came

Or you can leave

But if I'd known

Had I truly believed

You'd break like this

Under the truth

I would've told you

A lot sooner

Whether this sticks

Or it ends

I just can't see the point

In playing pretend

Too old

Too damn old

And this heart

Is growing tired and cold

I love you

And I would miss you

Like hell

But it might be

Just as well

If you can't love me

For me

If it hurts

So bad

If it got so bad

So fast

Maybe you are better off

All along

Maybe you were right

I was wrong

Don't ask me

If you don't want to hear it

You weren't there

When I needed you

And now

You expect trust

And then you turn around

Say it's too much

I'm too much

But you stay

You say you love me

Whatever that means

To you

But maybe

I wouldn't mind losing this war

Because 

If it's this hard

Loving me

For me

You have no business

Being with me at all
