it's the hundreds of little rejections
over and over and over
well two can play at this game
something broke in me
the day that you told me
i took up too much space
by simply existing
and that being a person
was your worst nightmare
and so the little heart that i had
begging to be loved
finally chose its fate
and realized that there was more than this
i should not have to fight
for your love and approval
i should not have to fight
to be loved
i should not have to change
for the likes of you
tell me you're embarrassed of me again
tell me you're scared that i'll ruin your reputation
i fucking dare you
give me a good reason
to walk away
make one more mistake
i dare you
i am no one's liability
i give you no reason to stay
leave if you want
don't leave me hanging
if you don't want me
then fucking leave
i don't have the courage to
because i want that life
with you so badly
so i'll do the cowardly thing
and leave bit by bit
until you no longer recognize me
as the girl you loved
i don't need you anymore
watch me disappear
into the sunrise
if you chose to chase me
you'd better give me
a good reason to turn around
and it must start
with an apology
what you've done
gradually letting the blood
has become an unhealable scar
and until you start licking my wounds
i don't think i can forgive you
