I ran but I couldn’t keep up
I wasn’t sure honey, I wasn’t
It should be perfect
It should
—
So I’ll hold myself
Wrap these arms loosely around myself
And hug myself Saying it will be fine
—
I should have walked away
I should have
But I let you in
Now I’m hurting again
—
Back to number one
Back to the place Where I cry myself to sleep
Back to the dark where it is just me against the world
—
You were my secret
The one behind my smile
But you had to walk away
To prove a point
—
This bittersweet smile
Do not define me
It only means I am strong enough
To remain unbroken.
