You Said

by dareyoutoleap

You said you didn’t know who you were, But you’ve had longer than I to find out. You said you were insecure right now, But I’m the one who’s supposed to be. You said you were just starting to be happy, But I thought you were happy with me. You said you were okay, But you didn’t sound okay when they called. You said I could do anything, But when you said no when I told you what I wanted. You said you were forgiving, But you hold a grudge like no one else. You said you were proud of me, But you tore me apart.
