why can't you just leave me be?
let me wallow in my reveries
I'm breaking down again
crashing, I just don't know when
and you're in the middle of my mess
knowing you weren't even second best
I wish I could see
what you see in me
love's not even real
it's just pretty lies
it's a chemical reaction
that soon fades with time
and I don't know what I need
but I know it's not you
I can't love you back
and I don't want to
maybe it's history long forgotten
but you were never what I wanted
and I was there every night
laughing while you cried
watching you quietly bleed
am I REALLY what you need?
I wish I could see
what you see in me
love's not even real
it's just pretty lies
it's a chemical reaction
that soon fades with time
and I don't know what I need
but I know it's not you
I can't love you back
and I don't want to
so leave the pieces where they lie
don't whisper your sad goodbyes
I never even bothered with hello
that if nothing should let you know
I'm not worth this pathetic disgrace
I'll never let you be my saving grace
I just wish I could see
what you ever saw in me
love's not even real
it's just pretty lies
it's a chemical reaction
that soon fades with time
and I don't know what I need
but I know it's not you
I can't love you back
and I don't want to
and I don't want to
Harsh and real but honest; this could be a song it seems to me. Nicely done, Danielle. Love and peace,
Regis
Be always safe,
