I understand that being in my life is not always an easy task
I have a way of pushing people to there limits
I really mean no harm
most of the time at least
but somehow you always give me the benefit of the doubt
I tend to say I will
even if I know I wont
I tell you that I am fine when you ask how I am
or I may say that this time's different
you know me enough to clearly see I'm lying
but the point is that you still care enough to ask
I live in a world of chaos
and self inflicted pain
The rules are always subject to change at any given moment
others may judge and point the finger
and you are there to quickly take my hand
sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
and I'm miles away from sane
afraid to show my true colors
or to let anyone or anything in
You assure me that my beauty is great
and comes from somewhere pure
Sometimes I let the negativity get the best of me
I look within and see darkness in my soul
I wonder what it is you see in me
Why cant I be more like you and find a reason to love me?
