If I Could

my walls are building up
the ground is breaking through
I’m starting to fall out
of a love I never grew
I lied to myself
tried to force some feelings
but fake incipience
doesn’t do healing


my mirrors couldn’t reflect
the eyes you have for me
so the DJ’s of my mind
scratched up reality
tried to fix scars
with knives and nails
tried to build stairs
but built a jail


I let you in
and asked you to stay
but really, back then
I wasn’t okay
I know that doesn’t
make this right
but I don’t have the blood
to finish this fight


get out before I crash
either way I’m going under
I’m still learning the difference
between lightning and thunder
I know you have problems
you can’t fix
just sign my name
to that list


sorry I led you to
this dead end street
I hope you can forgive
for trusting in me
when you leave my life,
leave the door closed
there will be less damage
when this bomb explodes
