Who matters?


Remember when you first caught my eye

I said my line cause you were shy

You blushed but I got the digits

I was happy cause you were with it

 

A few months into being with you

I learned how to be with you

I changed myself so you were happy

On the inside I was feeling crappy

 

To be myself became a sin with you by my side

I had to lie and lie so you would not have to cry

Now I could not recognize the guy in the mirror

But as long as you were happy I was content with being bitter

 

We were like a candle lit

I was the wax and you were the flame

For you to shine

I had to die
