You'll Regret It
You know I’m nice enough
to shut up.
I let my venomous words
sink back inside.
What’s the point of useless fights?
Don’t confuse me with your world,
you have no idea the girl lurking inside.
You know, I’m kind enough
to look the other way.
I let the actions go unnoticed
through knowing eyes.
Why speak up when no one listens?
Honestly, my mask hides me wonderfully.
I let my outer shell be beaten,
lost out in the cold night.
My kindness shrivels up in weakness
as you betray my phony self.
I’ll keep letting you crush me
because, one far off day,
my inner self will only be left.
You’re the one that’ll regret it.
