Don't Take It Personal
Don't take it personal,
you've done nothing wrong.
It's me who's the fool,
and I can't confront it, I'm just not that strong.
I thought I was more,
than I appeared to be.
I guess I'm blind,
it takes strength to see.
I used to be brave,
and say how I feel.
But now I'm afraid to be broken,
so I just ingnored it and already began to heal.
I just realized I feel for you,
more than I thought.
But just thinking of rejection
turns my stomach to knots.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,
and you haven't even called,
but it's not your fault
and that's why I've stalled.
I don't want an apology.
Not more empty lines.
I just can't take it,
that I didn't see all the signs.
It hurts me the most,
that I have no room to talk.
You weren't even mine,
so I'm using the key and doing up the lock.
I'll smile and I'll wave,
hug you and say I'm fine.
But don't take it personal,
if I just ignore you next time.
