I Break My Own Heart

 

I break my own heart

Always wanting what I can never have.

I can feel its weight as I breathe

Each ache with each beat

If I’m fast, if I can push you away

Or just quietly fade to the back

I might be able to save it.

Might be able to save me.

But I’ll loose you,

I’ll loose what was us

The us that caused me to break my own heart.

I shouldn’t have fallen,

We were supposed to just be friends,

But it happened,

I let it happen.

I opened up

Gave my best.

 

You did no wrong

You were just you

So I can’t be angry.

I let myself fall,

Told myself It wouldn’t be hard to get over you,

It was just a crush,

No big deal, right?

I’d always have you as a friend.

I don’t want to keep you at arms length

But I have to

Or I brake my own heart.
