How much do I have to sacrifice?
How much more of myself do I have to kill?
I'm reaching a breaking point.
If I give up anything more,
even just one more tear...
I'll have killed the person I was.
The person you fell in love with will be no more.
All that will be left is the shell.
In that moment I'll have nothing left to give.
I'll breathe but not feel.
I'll be alive only in body...
my spirit will have faded away..
all for our love...
and in the end...
I'm not sure it was worth it.
I never thought it would happen to me.
I am strong willed.
I am stubborn.
I am pretty.
I am educated.
Though I can name all sorts of adjectives,
when I look in the mirror I have no idea who that girl is.
I have no idea who I am anymore.
I am not what I dreamt I would be.
I am not what I feared I would be.
I am nothing I could have ever imagined.
So I’ll just keep pretending.
I’ll fool you all with my bravado.
You’ll see my self-confidence and my strength but you won’t see me.
I’ll wear a mask for as long as it takes.
I don’t know who I am and so I’ll be whatever you want me to be.
I’ll be a
I close my eyes and all I see is you
The nightmare that never ends
The lifeless look on your face
Robbed my happiness
The cold skin
Gave me chills
The body without a soul
Tortured my own
The heart that no longer beats
Stopped my own
My only memory of you
Is the nightmare that will haunt me till I die
You believed my sweet words
Even though they were obvious lies
You just wanted to believe they were true
You didn't care if I really felt that way
I knew what you wanted to hear
And gave you everything
Except my heart
I could cut it out
And hand it to you
I could bleed for you
But no matter how I try
My heart will never beat for you
I want you to see how hard I'm trying to laugh for you.
I want you to see how hard I'm trying to be strong for you.
I need you to see how hard I'm trying to smile for you.
I need you to see how hard I'm trying to love for you.
