The Thief

I dont know what else to say besides the fact that I still feel so betrayed
I hope you know just how wrong you were when you spread all your hatred and your hurt
I'm trying to forget the details
The painful parts of my travail that I dont need
But then you trespass on my memories
As I finally feel relief from your greed
Even now you invade my peace of mind
But dont think that I dont - That i dont find
Comfort in you making poor decisions constantly
I hate that i love to see every consequence cut deeply
Now I'm trying so hard to forgive but i still just cant make sense
You did what you said you'd never do and you did it all at my expense
That makes you the thief and me the victim of robbery
I will not forget everything you took from me

Short Straw

Everything that you had said to me was all unfair
And now it's just a mystery, Have you forgotten me?
Or all the poor choices that you stand for
You seem to sleep so comfortably and I find it so hard
I knew I'd get the short straw from the start
But I stuck it out, you let it fall
Now I hope that this is how it had to go, but I just dont know
Cuz I hate the way you treated me, condemn your thoughts and sympathy
You fixed yourself when you severed me and I find it so hard to believe
That you felt anything towards me
Now I regret defending you to all my friends
I made excuses up so you'd fit in with them
But after all you put me through
I should've put my trust in them not you
Now I hope that this is how it had to go, but I just dont know
Cuz I hate the way you treated me, condemn your thoughts and sympathy
Your blatant inability to love something is no surprise to me

Downside

The last thing I remember is leaving your house
Your dreams, your dog, your family, I guess i'll miss out
On everything you told me you want out of life
You made me a space by your side but now it's gone
And you're gone
Every downside that I include is direct result of your misuse
You just play it off like (you just play it off like)
You've got nothing to hide (you've got nothing to hide) but you do
The root of all my problems is that I still care
About what others think of my clothes and my hair
I never gave a damn until you pointed those out
And now it's hard to think straight when that's all i worry about
Ten thousand words on a crowded page with your name
And I still dont have a clue what to say
Cuz I know you dont care (oh I know you dont care)

Burden

I cant be happy the same way that all the people around me are
I physically cannot keep at bay the dark thoughts that my mind sparks
I've lost all sense of beauty in my life I find it hard to stay strong
And with my spirit always faultering I dont think that i will ever belong
Something always seems to burden me, a pinch of solitude or more
It feels like everyone just wants me gone, it feels like i'm destined to be forlorn
And it's true I hate the skin i've grown into and I feel weak for needing help
I'm sick of wishing that I wasn't myself, I'm sick of wishing I was somebody else

Forfeit

It's rained alot since the day you left
Not in the world but inside my head
I lost count at time number ten
You were a mess when I met you, now you stand on your own
But I know how your mind works, I know you still feel so alone
You take pride in control and being selfish you cant help
But I'm not your fucking doormat, go step on someone else
So forfeit, that's what you told me, just forget it
We'll never be anything but strangers with history
Now i stay with all the things that could be
While you wait for some sort of consistency in your life
You never seem to get anything right
Even your friends are annoyed of your spite
You just place the blame behind your eyes
Now you go to sleep with happy pictures but
You're just a broken dream where everyone wakes up
And I tried my best to fix you
I was the strong shoulder where you could always lean
I was the warm blanket, love stitched in every seam
But I took all those things with me
So now i do my best to find some sense of hope
That this is the last time where I will feel alone
I truly hope that you are happy, even though it is without me
