Fucked Up

Fucked up
these two words describe you better than any other words i've found
i used to believe that i could save you
that if i tried hard enough, i could take all your pain away

but nothing I ever did seemed to make you smile
you would always sneer at me and make me miserable
despite all that i did for you
i even took your abuse

how fucked up of you to think that you had the right to treat me this way
to lead me down this path, and then abandon me
you need to grow up, and get your life straightened out
to forget your past sorrows, and live for today

Why did you pick me
was it really so obvious that i was vulnerable
i didn't need you
but you needed me

i wanted to help you
to love you
but you took my heart and sliced it in many pieces
and ate it before my very eyes

you took all parts of me that made me proud, unique, confident
and belittled me about them
one by one
and i became ashamed, confused, fucked up

i was like a rare gem back then
i believed in the goodness of all people
i believed you were a good person
and i loved you and believed i could help you

you were like a wounded bird with a broken wing
that never learned to fly, nor never learned to try
instead you kept making me cry
by pecking me with your rough, uncaring beak

i wasn't depressed before you
i didn't feel the pressures of life's hatred before you
you were a poor little rich kid
with no compassion for others

but somehow i saw you as misunderstood
i saw that you really liked me
i know that once you loved me
in fact, you still might

but somewhere along the way
i should have told you no
i should have told you to fuck off
what was i thinking

instead i tried to mold myself into the girl you wanted
i ate too little, took too many diet pills, and threw up the rest
i tried to be popular, not to cry as my world shattered from all your unkind words
i took your shit, then smiled about it

what was going on in your head to think you had the right
what made me think you had the right
you were fucked up
and once i met you, i became fucked up too

god, i didn't deserve that
what made me hold out for you, for so long
you are so obsessed with me, that you have destroyed my life
you have made me hate myself

i gave you so much power
and for that i will never forgive myself
every relationship i enter, i'm scared it will mirror our fucked up quasi-relationship
did you realize my value--is that why you tried to kick me down

you hurt me mentally, physically, and emotionally
i gave you more chances than you'll ever get from anyone
don't expect anymore
then, you have the nerve to im me the other night

what were you thinking
what was i thinking
for a split second, i thought things would be different
but, again, you are playing mind games

one of these days, you'll realize what you lost when it's too late
i would never give you another chance in hell
i just wish the man i love, would give me another chance as quickly as i gave you one
you can dish it out, but you can't take it

i'm sorry you lost your mom
but you had no issues before that
if i hurt you half as bad as you hurt me, you would have killed yourself
because you're weak like that

do you know how many nights i went home and ate myself to death and cried
my weight wasn't a joke..don't lie
you weren't good enough for me
and it's only through hind sight that i see

i'm over you, it took years, but now that it's here
there's no where else i'd rather be
thoughts of you are non-existent
i don't long to know how you are, to talk to you, wait for you im

you are my past that i'm letting go like all other parts of the past
move on, mark, cuz i have
just realize that true love could have been yours
if you weren't so fucked up

if you hadn't treated me the way you did
you were so immature, selfish, and unappreciative of what i did for you
but now it's too late
and you really can't go back

so i hope one day when you're all my yourself
that a memory of me smiling on you the first day of sixth grade comes up
and i hope you smile, i hope you laugh, but most of all i hope you cry, with regret
because you missed out on one of the most sincere, honest loves you would ever have had

i could have completed you
I could have given you all my heart
but you were too afraid to try, to selfish to ask, and to immature to treat me like the person i was
now..nothing you could do..can make me ever feel that way for you again

maybe it was naive of me
to honestly believe i could heal you with love
to change your hurt into happiness
but just know..it was fucked up of you to let someone like me pass you by, cuz you'll never get a chance like that again
