You
 

Its not you its me
No, no, no
I won’t lie to you
It’s you

Without a doubt
Because if you weren’t being you
I wouldn’t be being me
Right now

So
Here’s me
And it’s me
M.E.
There’s no U and there shouldn’t be
Let’s quit the games and the Russian Roulette
Drawing blanks waiting to kill this ugly beast
We call you and me

Well I’m done
This anticipation is legitimately killing me

Your face
Your voice
Your words
Drowning me
Consuming my every
Thought
Decision
Move

Tip-toeing around your emotions
As if I was walking through the inner workings of a ticking time bomb
Lord knows it would take me with it

Dragging me down
Further and further
Engulfing me like quicksand

Weights
Dead
Insignificant weights
Bound around my ankles

Leeches
Sucking my soul
My blood
My life
Right out of me

You never knew me
And I wish I never knew who you would turn out to be

You knew a stranger
You knew only a step
In who I was becoming to be

Now I’m free
Free to be me
Without you diluting who I want to be

Me
