just once

2 1 0
                                    

Standing in the hallway,

Sending me a dirty look across the hall,

Eyeing me up and down.

And I would think,

Why do I keep lying to myself?


I wonder why I say sorry,

When really the person to blame is you.


It just keeps hurting inside,

The way I forgive you every time.

And you know you have to make it right,

So just once, it's all yours to do.


I woke up one day,

And I felt really strange.

Is it just me,

Or was the feeling gone?


Empty,

Broken,

Disheveled mess.


How can I keep fixing

My torn heart,

If you do it again and again.

So just once, I plead,

Step in my footsteps,

And see what I'm going through.


Stop blaming me,

When you have mistakes of your own.

Stop hurting me,

When the pain is unbearable.

Stop wanting me,

When you know I'm never going back.
