you build me just to break me
hold me so you can mold me
my love couldn’t console
your love for control
you’re not the soul that i once knew
your ego’s all that’s left of you
loving you was hurting myself
neglect became all that i felt
you used to make me feel cared for
then abuse felt like all you were there for
got used to playing by your rules
until i chose to make my own
the tables turned and i learned
your love was a double edged sword
i won’t chase it anymore
i hope one day you realize
a solemn truth beats a blissful lie
i hope one day you learn to be real
with yourself about how you feel
i dream of the day you lay awake
and realize we’ve all made mistakes
but loving was never one of them
i hope you learn to love again
