Nothing's New

I loved you,
I love you,
I'll always love you--
But I'm broken,
And outspoken,
Even though that's nothing new,
It still needs to be said.
There's still some hope in you
Yet,
That wild little me will
Come to my good senses,
And turn around and run back to you,
Past the pain
And through the fog,
That I alone have created.
I told you I was sorry,
Sorry for hurting you,
But you just throw the past
Back in my face,
And recite all of words
Back to me,
As if to say,
"I heard them then,
And that means they're true."
You ask me, "What happened?"
And that's the problem--
Nothing's changed,
I am the same girl as before,
You just assumed too much,
And I let you curl up
With your illusions.
If it matters now,
I wanted to be everything,
Everything to you,
And I tried to be
What you wanted,
But the trouble is,
What you wanted,
Who you wanted me to be,
That, my love,
My darling,
That girl isn't me.
