I Hate This
I pull away and leave her dangling
after sharing something so magic
It’s too complicated to be
my hopes and dreams.
She deserves better than me.
But when I hold her in my arms
I forget all the reasons we can’t
There’s this way she looks at me-
like I set her free;
like we’re meant to be.
So I can’t walk away from her,
I always return
She holds a part of me in her
but I don’t think she knows
‘cause I always run away before dawn
If only things were different,
if only flags and tongues didn’t matter
I would have secured her heart
made it so we would never part
but we just can’t be together
But it’s the way she loves me,
like my flaws don’t matter;
The way she believes in me
when I’ve lost all hope;
The way she stood by me
when I hurt her the most
And I hate myself for doing this
running around in circles
but forever was taken away from us
so if I can’t keep her as my love,
can’t I keep her in my heart?
There aren’t any who compare to how
she makes me feel like I am the world
and that I actually am worth
being loved.
So I can’t let go of her,
not just yet.
But I hate hurting her
I hate this.
