From the recording Wounded
Lyrics
Still submitting this piece of myself to you
And getting nothing back
Jealous rage consumes my heart and I
I can't let go of our past
Please don't mention his name, you think I care about him
I really don't give a fuck
The more life you have with him at your side
The more fucking angry that I become
Pleased and content you seem to be
What about my happiness, what about me?
Talking to you brings the shit right back through
Let me torture myself by talking to you
Why cant I accept that you don't love me anymore
The shield you've placed between us
The box where you've locked your feelings
Why can't I accept that you don't need me anymore
I gave all I have to you
Now I'm fucked in the head but continue to want you
Why did I call you?
When I already knew how I'd feel
You'd laugh and talk about yourself
And I'd seethe within as I listen and feel
Sickness inside as I swallow my pride
In the hope that you'll come around
I'm fooling myself cause there's nobody else
Stupidity's calling for me and I'm crawling
Pleased and content you seem to be
What about my happiness, what about me?
Talking to you brings the shit right back through
Let me torture myself by talking to you
Why cant I accept that you don't love me anymore
The shield you've placed between us
The box where you've locked your feelings
Why can't I accept that you don't need me anymore
I gave all I have to you
Now I'm fucked in the head but continue to want you
What an ass I am
For believing in hope
Sentimental fuck
You reap what you sow
I gave all I had
And you gave me shit
Why do I pursue this
When I know I should quit?
But I still miss you
I'm glad I expressed what I felt
The timing was off and my feelings took over
And I said what I said
But I won't get caught in the middle again
A drama king I am, let the movie continue
The emotional beating that's more than it seems
An unhappy ending, this imperfect dream
Why cant I accept that you don't love me anymore
The shield you've placed between us
The box where you've locked your feelings
Why can't I accept that you don't need me anymore
I gave all I have to you
Now I'm fucked in the head but continue to want you
