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.
