Love The Way You Lie



I'm sick of the beating
I won't take the hating
Nothing but tears in these hands I am weeping
Too much to handle
I rock and I cradle
Frozen memories
Just photos on a mantle
The glass that's been shattered
All beaten and battered
My heart's been torn open, not that it mattered
Your silence is screaming
Your eyes they are gleaming
Slowly you kill me
Is this life worth living

Without you I'm strong, I'll come back, won't take long.
(I miss you, I love you, you left me here bleeding)
One day, you'll need me, you'll beg for me, Baby
(I'm crying, I can't breathe, please just stay with me)
Threw it away, knew what to break, just watch now, I'll forget your name
(I need you, a drug, I crave you, addicted)
Desperately thriving in these words I've encrypted

I'm better than this
Just a two sided fence
Pulling and tugging
This game I can't win
You want it, you got it
I give up on you now
Letting go of this hold
Just let me figure out how
You said that I'd never get my time
Hear me now as I sing and I rhyme
Too afraid to let anyone close
Let me have just one last dose

One day you'll see
The beauty in me
The one you will miss
You can't have me like this
Take these tears that I've cried
And drown out all your washed up lies
Feel the same pain
You'll cry out my name

I'm the one you threw away
I'm the one who said I'd stay
This is how it must feel to be let down
I had big dreams before you came around
Once or twice I let it by
Your sweet nothings, my sacred lullaby

I've seen this before
Heartache's endless war
Timeless routine
Sickly pristine
It's pathetic really
Seeing you here before me
Nothing but empty promises you're selling
How did I not see this coming?

Almost gave in
Those eyes I get so lost in
My hope in you will soon decay
Don't worry, hunny, you'll be okay
Each tear you shed, just play this track
Hear as I walk and never look back

Resolution #036: Do not be the reason for someone else's misery. Do not hold someone back from achieving their fullest potential as an individual. If being with you is not making someone happy, the best thing you can do is let go.
