You hold this hand
The same hand that holds you down
Trying so hard to understand
Trying to explain what you think you found
This isn't me...
Not the girl you know
You only see
What you want me to show
So much I wanted to say
So much you would never take
My words crack and fade
And your friends call me a big mistake
You hear only words
You wanted me to speak
You think I'm absurd
You say I break you down until you are weak
You say I don't give you love
You say it's something I never said
But the truth is I could never give enough
I�ll never fit the picture of me in your head.
You say I�ve found another man
You think you have your proof
But you will never understand
So why bother reiterating the simple truth
I'm not looking to fill this void
I don't want another man to take your place
Now you've got me so annoyed
I don't want to see your face
I�ve never cheated
Never lied
But my arguments are defeated
With our sour distorted goodbyes
You say you've found a light
That shines so deep inside of me
It keeps you up at night
To think of the girl that I COULD be
You tell me how it felt
Hoping to burden my soul
Still wishing I were someone else
You offer your hand to hold
But I don't want to feel trapped
Or held down by the hand held in my own
I don't think of you as a sap
But I'll be much better off alone
