From the other side

by Tylr   Jul 9, 2008


I never meant to hurt you, just wanted to save me
I never wanted to betray you but i needed some release
I never wanted to see you in pain, I just wanted to feel whole
I never meant to make you cry, Just wanted to save my soul

Sure, theres scars upon your wrists. Scars put there by me.
But my pain is deeper than your scars, though you cannot see.
It's easier to hide, when you're killing yourself chemically.
I thought maybe I could shake off the grip of this dependency.

But in blind selfishness, you accuse me of wounding you
No matter what i do theres pain, better you than me
I've been hurting far too long, you know I hurt too
Put aside your own needs, and help to set me free

My scars are on the inside, caused by what i consume
I consume to escape reality, but it catches up so soon
I just thought that maybe id found my escape
But all you can think of is you, so you direct towards me your hate.

You want me to be your martyr? to bear the scars for us all?
Well too bad! I'm done, being the one to take the fall.
Another crack, would tear me apart
So still your bitter heart.
