Who You Are
What you say,
 
  cuts so deeply. 
 
 What you don't, 
 
  cuts so much more. 
 
 Seems like you pull me 
 
    into the pain you feel. 
 
 Because when you're 
 
 here, it feels like I'm numb.
 
 And my stomach reels, and 
 
  I'm about to choke, 
   can't feel my heart, 
     it just broke. 
 
 It scares me to death
 
  how I don't even know 
 
 
 you anymore. 
 
 You're not you. 
 
 But now 
 
 I am starting to realize 
   that maybe I'm the problem. 
 
 Because, in reality, 
     you're not who I want you 
 
 
 
 
 
  to be.
 
 And it hurts,
 
   to know that I'm 
 
 
 
    in the way,
 
 every night and day,
 
    of you being 
 
   whoever you are.
