Hard

Hard as nails
but this is entirely unneccessary
what stepped inside your sensitive heart, turning it to stone
entering your tongue to lace it with fire

you are hard with me
you seem so uncaring right now
what are you trying to prove
are you trying to hurt me

does it make me paranoid when i recognize that your actions are hurtful
does it make me selfish if i don't want to be hurt
I told you my biggest fear, now you use that against me
my friends can no longer guide me, i'm alone

is what you say true
do people really hate me, do they find me bitchy because i won't let them in
how can i even let the slightest person in now
my wall is being rebuilt

how can you call myself your friend
and go behind my back and stab me deeply
then come around and rip my heart out
don't expect me to smile, laugh, or even look at you

you are all so hard
you are all so uncaring
what did i ever do to deserve this
does it matter how much i've gone through

according to you, actions speak louder than words
how can you tell me that you lost your love for me in days
how can you tell me that you love me, but aren't in love with me, in less than a couple of days
but then you say i'm the greatest person ever, if that were true, would this be happening

i feel as if my whole life is a joke
except the punchline is me
and i'm the only one who doesn't find it funny
this is the greatest lesson that i keep learning over and over and over

don't judge people based on others
that is so hard, considering that all people seem to be alike
my heart aches, i've never been received what i've given
never, maybe i should just turn my heart rock hard

instead of building muscles in my flabby legs
i'll build muscle in my heart
and harden it
never let anyone in, and die alone

do you realize that this is almost the blow that is going to send me over the edge
that this is the blade that is the dullest, the most painful
do you even care, that i pray to enter into an endless sleep

i can't deal with this
does that make me weak
i used to be strong
but every time i seem to get over what ails me, just before it's completely gone, pain finds me

never, in my wildest dreams, would i believe that all my worst fears have come true
that i have no one, in this whole world
that all that i thought we stood for was a big lie
oh, lord please take me from this nightmare

it's not something new, to turn hard before my very eyes
i'm used to it, but that doesn't make it easier
you've had such a rough childhood, but you haven't grown, just as i haven't
yet you pretend to be in control
when really you're reeling, in love with me, don't hide it

don't try to hurt me to make you feel better
i don't care to stick up for myself, cuz i'm not worth it right now
i will be out of here in less than 5 months
you say, that people get to know me and run, i'll save them

i will hide myself so far away from your eyes
that you won't be able to reach me with your heart
we were soul mates, but you let petty, jealous bitches ruin us
you let them step in, and cloud your judgment

what you thought was selfish
was me standing up for myself
but look what happened, i was trampled, left behind
and for that i can never forgive you or her

don't be hard with me
come back to me the way you were
when your smile made my heart smile
and when your words were kind and true
