Being Myself
Kingsley Scanlon
5:03I'm still too scared to put my foot down When she gets angry I apologise If I'm not perfect then I'll lose her I don't wanna go back to my other life, tell myself it's fine Suck in my stomach when I hug you As long as I'm awake I never can relax I watch our bodies from a distance Trapped behind a wall of insecurities I'm peaking through the glass Three months time has arrived I'm sick of this lie So I tell her how I feel And that her love doesn't feel real Now I can't sleep tonight I'm scared of her reply See her typing for an hour And my doubts are growing louder Finally she responds Split in three, it was too long Take a glance at the last sentence Now my stomach's in my throat And try my best to ignore But I know what I saw Hanging on to every word As it gets worse and starts to hurt She doesn't think she's enough Doesn't know how to love Says that maybe I should leave her 'Cause she's only getting weaker But I try to hold on Tell her she's all I want Say some platitudes, convince her she's enough It doesn't work I know I shouldn't think about it Keeps coming back to me, I let out little cries Don't wanna live when I'm without her Go to my buddies house and crash there for the night I wake up and my phone is ringing She called and messaged me she's standing at my door But I can't answer 'cause my phone is shit, and I'm not home I leave so I can see her cause she bought me lots of flowers And she wrote a pretty poem but when I got there she was gone (knock knock)
