Pull my heartstrings
So selfishly
In ways that make my heart sing
I can't help but dance helplessly
And entertain your fantasy
It's so lovely
To feel loved
I'm so happy
You're here for me
And
You said you loved me.
Pull my heartstrings
So selfishly
Drive me crazy
The tighter you pull
Make my heart bleed
I'll hide the blood with clenched teeth
And a bright smile for you to see
Because
I know you like it when I'm easy
Just simply giving
Attached to your strings
Sometimes I can't help but grab the strings
And pull back
To try and bring you closer to me
But I know you hate what you see when you're right in front of me
Because
When my pupils start dilating
Swallowing everything around me
Leaving the world black and nothing for me to see
And I begin trembling, shaking everything, falling and knocking things over with my disorder
It's just too unbearable to be there for.
I let forgotten memories corrupt me
Those memories don't let secrets hide from me
Let me tell you
What the world taught me as a child
If I believe so easily
In those around me,
-
Please stop hating
Please stop hurting each other
Please stop hurting me
Please stop hurting us
If you love us
Please
No more
I can't stand the hatred I see
No matter how much I scream
You never seem to notice me
Is it because I'm so small
I wish I was stronger
I see your scars mother
Don't leave us alone
Please I'm trying to save you
But they're pulling me away
Locking me behind a door so I don't see
But I can still hear your screams
I cry and try to escape from their grasp
But I'm so weak
I don't trust him enough to stop you
I pray that you will stay, even if you can't be here for me.
-
Do you understand me?
Liars and manipulators are killers
I will never cater to hypocrisy
I will think of everything
So no one can lie to me
So nothing can be pretend to be
They can't help but leave
When confronted
So brutally
So honestly
I don't care who it pushes away
I will find out everything
I will never hide away from the things that hurt me
I will never be the me
That couldn't do a thing.
Once you see me leaving
Just pull your heartstrings and
Lay your warm hand on my cold chest
To tame my heavy breathing
Get close to me and catch my tears with your cheek
It feels like beauty and the beast
Without the happy ending
Without the good in me overcoming for you to see
I try so hard to take control but this seems to be my destiny.
