get out
of my head
i can't take it.
you hurt me
you used me
and said i did it to you.
you took advantage
of how much i cared
and you wonder why i got upset
you knew what you were doing
you said so yourself
then pretended nothing happened
i didn't ask for it.
i didn't.
i-
i think-
i think i might resent you.
you say i betrayed you?
you've got it twisted.
you ignored my words.
you did what you wanted.
am i wrong?
i don't know if it matters
i just want to forget
i wish i could forget
i wish i could wipe it from my memory
the worst part is that you think it was nothing.
you hurt people and don't even care.
don't even acknowledge
that you've made a mistake.
because you can't make mistakes, right?
you're always right, yeah?
that's what you always told me.
it drove me feral.
no, you're not always right.
no one is always right.
you never listened when i told you that.
you just...never listened.
i wish you'd get out of my head.
i don't like thinking about you anymore.
it's never anything good anyway.
