I smile at you and you force a mirror image.
I can tell.
As I walk away, the corners of my mouth weigh tons
And I realize all is lost.
And I pray to a God who's never answered me before.
That this feigned attraction is only in my head.
You can cut my heart out of my chest, you can keep it. I need it less.
Her body's rejecting the transplant again.
Well I guess it's better off this way.
Now I can keep my worries at bay.
Like what happens when I can't be what you need.
I guess we'll never know.
And finding a safe place to breathe,
So I can fix my self esteem,
Is all I'll ever really need.
