glad you're gone

You crouch around your puzzle
Searching for the piece
That fits the mold and fills the hole
Where your heart should be
You cut every corner
Determined to succeed
Demand the best, then make a mess
And ruin everything

Was it a lover's fee to constantly be crushed beneath your scrutiny
Relentlessly

I want someone to hold, someone who knows
How to read between the parts of me
That aren't all that pretty
I want someone to hold, someone who knows
How to love and be kind to me
You are not that one, and I'm glad you're gone

You took pity on my problems
Like some helpless case
I was daunting and so broken, I needed to be saved
I tried to be your answer
I tried to be enough
But even in my best attempts to work through it, I never felt your love

No one fits perfectly if you try to improve them for your benefit
You're full of it

I want someone to hold, someone who knows
How to read between the parts of me
That aren't all that pretty
I want someone to hold, someone who knows
How to love and be kind to me
You are not that one, and I'm glad you're gone
I'm glad you're gone

You're manipulative, agitating, what did I do wrong
It's crystal clear that I don't fit and never will belong
I wasted all my time believing I needed you to be whole
But the pieces of my heart were never good enough at all

I never needed some fairytale, just someone who won't judge
Obsessing with perfection made you second guess your love
I'm inconvenient and you're conceited, it's killing me

I want someone to hold, someone who knows
How to read between the parts of me
That aren't all that pretty
I want someone to hold, someone who knows
How to love and be kind to me
You are not that one, and I'm glad you're gone
I'm glad you're gone
