You Can Only Break Glass So Long...

So you want to know my secret

My inspirations, my strengths

You want to know what gets me

How I can withstand such lengths

 

You want to know my secret

But you don’t care at all

You want to hear me whisper dreams

That you can rip and watch me fall

 

You want to know my secret

Yet I want to know yours

What is it that makes you real?

Keeps giving you open doors

 

I want to know your secret

How you’ve made it this far

Swiping at people’s chest

Leaving behind a deadly scar

 

I want to know your secret

Why do you hurt me unlike the rest?

Who do you think you are?

Is this some kind of test?

 

I want to know your secret

You lash out at me without care

How could I ever love you?

It’s like you were everywhere!

 

I want to know your secret!

How do you watch me bleed?

Crying and screaming and calling to you

So broken all I could do was plead

 

I want to know your secret

Why is it that you never loved me?

What did I do ever do to you?

Was I not everything I could be?

 

I want to know your secret!

How could you destroy me without a care?

How could you rip me apart piece by piece?

Defy you? I never could dare!

 

I want to know your secret!

Why did you do this to me?

Why did you just laugh as I cried?

Why couldn’t anyone see?

 

I want to know your secret!

While you tear me apart

While you destroy everything I had in life

While you have fun ripping out my heart

 

 

I’ll tell you my secret!

I learned how to care!

I learned how to love!

I knew you were never there!

 

I’ll tell you my secret!

While you were busy making lies

I was growing stronger

Giving my soul less time for cries

 

I’ll tell you my secret!

I am nothing like you!

I don’t rip people apart!

I learned what you never knew!

 

I’ll tell you my secret

You could never take me down

You drown and burn me all you want

I’ve lived too long to frown

 

I’ll tell you my secret

I’m stronger than you are

I have a life now, better than yours

And you’re just a memory, oh so far.
