You Crush Me
You weaken me when I just become strong again,
I'm a hypocrite in the eyes of the rest of the world.
they say victims of the treatment that you give to me
always blame themselves and that was something I never
understood until now.
I want to shower my body away,
cleansing the feelings of no self-worth away.
Away
Away.
That's where I need to go.
I'd rather be everywhere you aren't
but warn everyone around you before I go.
17, i've heard songs and stories of wonderful 17;
no worries, no fears.
I would take 17 away in a heartbeat,
the whole goddamn year
and crush it in my hands
if it meant not knowing you
and feeling you everywhere
on
my
body.
