Pushing Her


You're pushing her away

It's as if you don't want her to stay

 

Raising your voice

Downcasting her views

Emotionally throwing her up against the wall

You don't know how to be there for anyone at all

 

And she's only crying 

Because she's been trying for such a long time

To be all the things that would make her lovely to you

That would make her somewhat brand new

 

And yes, it's true

She's a perfectionist

But she's only doing it 

To be good enough for you
