On The Run

Thanks for telling me to walk away
Because I was nearing my darkest day
With way too many bad things to say to you.
You say you would've fought for me
But you only ever fought with me
Now I'll run until someone new stops me.

I truly hope you change
Into a better man
But for another man
Because I'm already gone.
If you grow up
I'll be happy for you,
But you won't grow with me
Because I'm already done.
I needed a man
But I got a boy
And I won't apologize
For being on the run.

The truth can be hard
But for you it's impossible.
I offered a million and one chances
For you to use it
But you chose its enemy
Every last time.
You committed every last crime
Yet tried to make me think I was the criminal.

I truly hope you change
Into a better man
But for another man
Because I'm already gone.
If you grow up
I'll be happy for you,
But you won't grow with me
Because I'm already done.
I needed a man
But I got a boy
And I won't apologize
For being on the run.

Oh why the hell'd you tell me to walk away
When you're treating me like
You wanted me to stay.
You have friends, I have an army.
You can keep your empty sorries
I won't let you disarm me.

I truly hope you change
Into a better man
But for another man
Because I'm already gone.
If you grow up
I'll be happy for you,
But you won't grow with me
Because I'm already done.
I needed a man
But I got a boy
And I won't apologize
For being on the run.

Oh wow, this speaks to a path I just walked down. I realized I was in love with the boy and the man, as well as a few other things. It took months, but I was not willing to let him go. I wanted that boy, I wanted that piece of my childhood. I just wanted the man as well. I got what showed up, lol. We communicate better now. I wish you the best in this relationship. It was well written, but I can't critique it, to close to it, or maybe I just did, however you want to view it. I wanted what I wanted when I wanted it, but it doesn't work that way. I came so close to loosing him, and honestly I was to proud, I would have said it was his problem. Problems don't belong to one person or another, they exist between you. I will say this, it took me 4 months to realize what I wanted. I always knew, but things aren't that crystal clear in reality. In the end zone I wanted someone to accept me for me, no holds barred. He tried, it is much more workable now. Maybe a breather is both what you need. I hope so.
