Trauma Of Loving You


I fear that you won't see me nor feel me

I'm too unsure if you even need me

I know that part of me is undeserving, but how can I be with you if you're not trying

I lose sight of what love is and how it should feel

Don't know if what we have is even real

My heart aches and cries out to you, but I think that I spoke too soon

Why must I fall for a guy like you

A guy that doesn't see my worth and only cares when I'm naked inside of the bedroom

It hurts when you don't see the pain that you cause

You'll choose her over me, then claim that you wasn't feeling me at all

Then why did you say that you would catch me when I fall

You were the only person that I wanted to call, but you became the person that used me

Say that you love, but you continue to keep abusing

My heart is bruised and so is my body

Why must I keep covering up my scars so that I won't have to show anybody

I broke my silence, yet you still left

I won't ever forget the pain that I carry within my chest

So thanks to you, I know what pain feels like when I'm at my best
