you love me, you love me not
you love me, you love me not
i recite this prayer over and over as you peel my insecurities layer by layer
the broken petals fall to the ground and as each is stripped away i feel better and clearer
you love me? you love me not
you peel apart gently now to preserve what's left of me
so much softer and sweeter
a creation of your own, molded to your liking
you love me, you love me not?
the stars and the moon could never compare to you
so many leave and yet you came back
you love me not?
i wonder what i did to deserve all of you
you love me
you helped me
you kept me
i wilt away thinking i couldn't make you stay
you let the rest of me slip
"we're better off this way"
i try to grasp on, begging you to hold me
So desperately hoping this was truly a love story
why you stayed? that i never got
one thing i know for sure
you love me.not.
