Fraudulent Faces, Simple Smiles, and a Broken Child
I want to see clearly
my mind is murky with your words
are they lies
you curse me with your beauty
under this spell of want
and lust
I don't like it anymore
I want to be my own
all alone
yet I want to be a pair
a thing for us to share
me and you
but could you be true?
could you be the answer to my prayers?
you see I need stability
I need someone to count on
someone to pick me up when I break
someone to help me make it
especially when I don't think I will
please
help me believe...
in myself...
in others...
in you...
im breaking as we speak
im falling as we fight
I'm no longer who I want to be
im not really happy...
I want someone to see past my fraudulent face
strip my armor
pump my heart back into place
I don't even belong here
Do I even deserve my life
don't you see baby
I need you
im strong enough
what did you expect me to say?
I cant help that I'm madly,
forbiddingly,
insanely,
regretfully,
completely, and totally
in love with you.
