dedicated to A Great Big World or Westley
those words hurt
I remember them all
and that is why they are so hard
it's not about what you want
it's about what happens in spite of
everything we want
we call it life
and what if
what if
but I can't rely on what if
and I can't rely on you
or me
trust that you can't trust me
then we will be safe
at least as safe as we can be
because even the beauty aches
and joy is a dagger
that cuts to the heart
you say something
I say something
whatever the words
whatever the meaning
it doesn't matter
because words hurt
there have been great pains
but there's never a greater pain I've felt
than love
and that could just be me
but that's who you were talking to
and the words you said
are sadly answered by my soul
what if they didn't want to hurt you
they already have
