Do you even know what it is not to hurt me?
Can you take yourself out of your damn head for just one second, and see that I only have YOUR best interests at heart?

I bend over backwards for you on a daily basis.
Only doing what you'll approve of.

I shouldn't have to edit myself so that you can live a more cushioned life.

You screwed up, that's the cold. Hard. Truth.

So forgive yourself, so we can just move on.
