Cut Me Down

Tell me what I'm thinking

Surely you know best

Assure me I am wrong

I'm dumber than I guessed

Explain where I fall short

And how you always excel

Yell at me about how I seem

to make your life living hell

Make me question myself

Chip away my self esteem

Self conviction is for big boys

No need for trivial things.

Scream at me instead of talk

So I can finally understand

I just can't comprehend

the simplest of demands

Tell me this is my fault

I angered you after all

That I warrant every name

That you seem to call. 

Explain to me I'm dramatic

When I cry from inner scars

Those are not important

Only your wounds are

Make me some statistic

Another girl who has lost

Fell in love with a villain

And paid the highest cost
