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
— i don't want to break again
