“Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters.” - John Green


From a date to your apartment,
Your words got mixed and bent,
I went along with your disguise,
Hoping maybe you would show me why,

Maybe I just wanted that glance,
That glance that told me that maybe we would have a chance,
But you only wanted that embrace,
That left me so erased,

I felt bear, and broken,
But you kept going,
I kept telling myself this is just how love feels,
Its supposed to feel injured and frail,

From childhood I watched my parents marriage crumble,
I blame the bottle that made the marriage stumble,
And I thought if I could grow up fast,
It would erase all the questions I got asked,

If I created a perfect relationship,
I would never have to worry about finding companionship,
So I agreed to your date,
Thinking that it would help get my life straight

Its about a crappy relationship with a guy that made me reflect on other relationships I see going on around me like my parents, or my friends.
