You said you’d never give up.

You said you’d always be there.
It was all smiles and hearts to start..
Then it went downhill.


I went to my dark place again,
I went to you for help,
Like I always did.


Then, suddenly something snapped,


You said you’d give up.
You said you’d be done.
You said you’ve been here before,
And didn't wanna continue the circle.
You said there wasn’t any hope.


Did you really mean it?


That just pushed me more and more into the shadows.
You said you thought you were helping me.
I started to talk less and think more.


I began to bottle everything up inside,
Getting closer and closer to exploding,
Like a bottle of soda that was shook.
And all at once,


I broke.


I exploded like the carbonation was too much.
Maybe it was too much for you.
Maybe it was just all my fault.


I trusted you,
I trusted you when I was in the shadows,
But you brushed me off like a bug on your shoulder.


I kept trying to make it better,
I tried to talk and explain.
I kept trying,
I tried.


At first I thought it couldn’t be undone,
I thought what was said was said,
That I couldn’t change your mind.


I was scared.
I was scared to talk to you
I was scared because I didn’t know how to tell you how I felt
I was terrified.


You said I could still trust you.
But,
My mind couldn’t grasp the concept.


I used to feel so safe with you.
But now,
I’m not so sure.


Then you suddenly,
Take it all back?
You said you didn’t mean it?
Do you really think we can go
Back,
To the way we were?


I don’t know what to believe anymore.

 

Because when you said you’d give up on me…
I started to give up on myself.
