I cant help but hurt you
your just so pretty in your pain
your withering smile
of my unfailing denial of my problems
I watch you draw away from me
leave me for another
I don’t even bother to try and change
I remain the same
just as calm
you don’t know
I am a ticking time bomb
little things will set me off
your flirty little ways
how easily you will stray
it pains me to see you flash her a smile
I try to remain in a state of denial
as you stray farther away
my anger comes to bay
and I say
words I never mean
about things never seen
now knowing
I could never redeem my self in your eyes
you couldn’t put up with my lies
and as you leave
I know the pain will never cease
cause I really did love you
