Why did you?
Why did you
Break me down?
Why did you not ever love me for me?
Why did you always try to shape me?
Into something else?
Why wasn't I enough?
For you?
I tried to be.
I tried so hard
Why is it that every time I tried
to be what you wanted
You threw me down like I was nothing?
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
At least I was at one point
Now, I'm not so sure
You could never love me
I said you could never love me
I don't think you ever did
And now I understand that
So, please go away now
I want to be alone
Even if I didn't get the chance to ask
Why did you
