Poison (Thanks for Nothing)

I never wanted to play make believe
I tried to stay within reality
And from a real young age
I learned to cope with pain
I never was the same

I didn't want you to be Superman
I only wanted you to hold my hand
I guess I asked too much
Or wasn't worth enough
But I kept faith because
You're supposed to love and protect me

(Sorry that I didn't turn out the way)
(That you wanted, but I just wanted you to stay)

You're suppose to love and accept me

(Instead, I waited, wasting so much time)
(And without you, I really had to sacrifice)
(The part of my heart that believed dreams could come to life)

I played my part (I played my part)
You had my heart (you had my heart)
Believed it all would work out
Without a shred of doubt

But in your eyes (but in your eyes)
I couldn't fly, why
Wasn't I good enough?
Guess I just don't mean much
Is it too late
To quit this game?

Fill me with poison, make me numb
I don't care if my heart stops
Feed me your bullshit, hope it works
That's all you're fucking good for!

Should I apologize for giving up?
Should I be sorry that I've had enough
Of broken promises
Excessive, harsh judgements
And subtle rejections?

Are you aware of what you've done to me?
Or are you just so blind that you can't see
The scars that you've left here
Mutating into fear
Of people getting near?
Why didn't you love and accept me?

(Sorry that I didn't turn out the way)
(That you wanted, I guess that's why you didn't stay)

Why couldn't you love and protect me?

(Instead, I waited, wasting so much time)
(And without you, I really had to sacrifice)
(The part of my heart that believed dreams could come to life)

You had a chance (you had a chance)
I took it back (I took it back)
Why should I let you go free
When you can't stop hurting me?

Wish I was strong (wish I was strong)
Enough to hold on!
But the ache grows and grows!
As long as I still can't say "no," so
You've got to go!

Swallow your poison, just one gulp
I want you to drink it all
Have just a taste of what you serve
This is how bad your lies hurt!

I'm not too sensitive
And I'm not incompetent
You failed the job that you were meant to have in my life

No, I'm not incompetent
No, I'm not too sensitive
And if you really cared then you'd just say you're sorry!
The saddest part is that you won't even hear this song

I wish
That things had been different
And now, I just can't leave it all behind!

If I could heal the wounds within
Maybe we both could start again
For now I can't, my heart is cracked, so until then
Can't let you in!
This is the end!

Fill me with poison, make me numb
I don't care if my heart stops
Feed me your bullshit, hope it works
That's all you're fucking good for!

Swallow your poison, just one gulp
I want you to drink it all
Have just a taste of what you serve
This is how bad your lies hurt!
