rhyme

What was the point?
Of telling you that I cared
When was the moment?
When suddenly I became everything that scared you

Where did we leave?
This teenage sanity
Somewhere off by a cliff
I swear to tell myself you didn't deserve this

And bit by bit
And piece by piece
There's a wound on my hand
That refuses to bleed

But it still seeps into everything I write
You are never on my mind
But you are
Always in
My rhyme

I refuse to believe
That there's someone better for me
When I made myself better for you
Was my proof of giving you everything I had not true?

And bit by bit
And piece by piece
There's a dream in my mind
That refuses to leave

But it still seeps into everything I write
You are never on my mind
But you are
Always in
My rhyme

Oh stop looking at me
As if there's a version that still believes
You and me were more than the moral of a story
I've wasted my time in dying to keep
All your secrets and lies
When you told me you were scared
Of not my demons
But what they made me

And bit by bit
And piece by piece
This permanent damage won't still change me
I refuse to leave
Please

But it still seeps into everything I write
You are never on my mind
But you are
Always in
My rhyme

But you are
Always in
