Slowburn

*Another "Song/poem"...*

After all the abuse I take,
I still hope that when I awake,
that my heart will not break,
and that it was not a mistake,
but I can't hear the sounds that you make,
will you say something for Heaven's sake,
and I'm wondering if you're fake,
just in my head to ache,
but you left this scar,
and yet everything you are,
is everything I'm needing,
to stop me from bleeding,
'cause you're like a gauze,
you put my pain on pause,
but whenever you leave,
again I start to grieve,

(Chorus)
I give you everything,
but don't get anything,
I'd give you anything,
give you everything,
but I get...nothing in return,
but a slowburn,

I'd let you cry on my shoulder,
but I'm starting to smolder,
you were my hearts holder,
until your heart grew colder,
and you shattered it to pieces,
now my pain increases,
because I know the truth,
that it was just your youth,
that made you say those things,
but now you just pull my strings,
I would have given you the stars,
I would have taken you away to Mars,
but you left me with these scars,
I guess that love was not ours,
it only belonged to me,
I guess love's not a guarantee,

I give you everything,
but don't get anything,
I'd give you anything,
give you everything,
but I get...nothing in return,
but a slowburn,

You were everything to me,
but we were just a tragedy,
'cause you were never there,
'cause you could never care,
and I would have given you my all,
I would have gladly taken the fall,
for any mistake you made,
if only you would have stayed,
with me for the rest of our days,
but you never took the place,
of the heart that I gave,
you made me your slave,
and tortured me with this pain,
you can see me cry in the rain,
'cause I'm bleeding my tears dry,
why must this be goodbye,

I gave you everything,
but didn't get anything,
I gave you anything,
gave you everything,
but I got...nothing in return,
but a slowburn,

I give you everything,
but don't get anything,
I'd give you anything,
give you everything,
but I get...nothing in return,
but a slowburn...
