Just Me

You said you'd never hurt me

But you've already made me cry

You don't even know my pain

And I'm left asking why

Why can't I see the beauty

That you claim to see in me

Why can't I believe the things

That you say you love and see

Why do I ignore your words

Of tender love and care

Why can't I let myself imagine

Me and you as a pair

Why don't I open up my heart

And let you see me whole

What is it that holds me back

What shadow darkens my soul?

So I ruin any chance we have

I hide, hold back, I flee

And then you're left wondering why

And I'm just left with me.
