I never wanted to be the girl with the broken heart
I never wanted to be the girl with so much bitterness that even a lemon seemed sweet
I never wanted to be the girl with a smile that didn't reach her eyes
I never wanted to be the girl that stopped believing in love
I NEVER wanted to be her...
But I am her and she is me
Tell me...
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep at night?
I have
Have you ever felt so alone that your soul ached yet you were sitting in a room full of people?
I have
Have you ever been so desperate to stop the pain that you create your own?
Because I certainly have...
Though the scars on my arms have nothing on the scars that cover my heart
Gives a whole new meaning to scar tissue
I look in the mirror and I don't even recognize myself some days
It's like I'm there, but I'm not
The lights are off, but somebody's home
Every now and then I get a glimpse of my old self
She smiles at me
Such a sad smile...
She remembers happier times
Just a quick glimpse and she's gone
And I'm back to being that girl that I never wanted to be
I grew up believing in fairytales
Too bad they don't teach you about nightmares huh
I grew up believing in that reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of love
Too bad nobody told me about striking out
Do you know what it feels like to never feel good enough?
I do
Do you know what it feels like to always give, but never receive?
I do
Do you know what it feels like to just want to be ok but feeling like you never will be?
Dear God do I know that feeling!
"Just deal with it" they say
"Get over it already"
But if you know like I know
We rarely ever recover from a broken heart...
Had so much on my mind at 5am, so I started writing. This the result.
Stay classy GaGers. ✌
