Tug-O-War

I’m the knot in this tug-o-war

I can’t make up my mind,

So I have resorted to being a knot

Letting myself be ripped apart from every side

It's my word against yours, It's you against the world

And we’re all fighting for me.

How much will you lie to me

Before you trust me enough to tell me

How much will you hide from me

Before you realize what you’re doing is wrong.

When they all walk away,

And I’m the only one left by your side

Will you continue to lie till I can’t believe you anymore

I see right through you Liars never stop being liars.

Yet, I can’t let myself walk away from you

That’s the hardest thing I have had to do.

Stay quiet, and take it all in. I can’t speak my mind, but slowly

You are pushing me away with your stories.

I’m the knot in the middle of this tug-o-war

And I can feel my heart being ripped in every direction.

Its you against the world, and you’re letting them win

Slowly. Unknowingly, but surely.

This time I am asking you to fight for me.

Make me stay, because it won’t be long before I willingly walk  away,

As a trophy in their hands

You know what you have to do, you know what I want you to do

The game is almost over,  I can feel my  limbs leaving their sockets

I’m counting on you, to fix it. To win this, or to at least fight hard enough

To make me want to stay. To stop pushing me away.
