ah this one's kinda sad.

---

please don't

lead me on

please don't

tell me that i'm

smart and

talented

and pretty

i hate it

i hate it so much

because i don't

believe it

or if i let myself

believe it

i'll believe that

you believe it

but you don't

they're words

that are hollow

and mean nothing

because you're going to

break my heart

i thought i'd be

fine with it

i thought i'd be

fine with letting you

hold me

and then tear me to

pieces

i don't want you to

tear me to pieces

i want you to love me

that's never going to

happen

i know

but i want it to

i'm wasting time

on hopeless dreams

wasting pennies

in a wishing well

for something that

can never be

i want it to be

so badly

so so badly

please don't

lead me on

because i won't

be able to take it

i won't be able to take

you putting me together

and ruining me again

leave me with my

shattered heart

and

hurting soul

and

prison-of-a-mind

if you cannot give me

love

then don't give me

anything at all
