You held my hand
and said you’d never go
You let me in
and said it’d be different.
I believed you,
and let my walls down
pushing you away
because that’s what I do.
I was scared
but you said you’d never go
I believed you
and here I am alone.
Left to pick up
the pieces you left,
the ones you used
and decided weren’t good enough
The Little Mermaid:
When I was with you
I lost me.
I followed your lead,
letting you take parts of me too.
My voice was the first to go,
I think you took it one day
Like Ursula
and locked it in a shell.
I couldn’t speak
and I let you do what you pleased.
As long as you were happy,
who cared about me?
Next was my happiness,
you took that day by day
week by week,
until there was nothing left.
You took my smile,
you took my laugh,
and you made me question
if I was even allowed to be happy.
When I was with you,
I couldn't breathe.
I questioned every action
and worried you’d get upset.
I never realized
I was walking around
living in fear,
of the girl I thought I loved.
It Was Like I Was Drowning:
You were like coming up for air,
I couldn't breathe
when I was with her.
I could barely speak
or smile,
or be me.
But with you,
I finally caught my breath.
I could be myself
and for some reason,
thats when you liked me best.
So I took off my mask,
and broke down my walls,
giving you a chance to break my heart
something you’ve done before.
But this time you didn’t,
You fell harder then I did
and you picked up every piece
that she broke before you.
You had a few broken pieces too,
and maybe thats why we worked.
We both knew what it was like
to fall in love with the wrong girl.
