The Little Things

God knows it's never been easy

And if y'all could only see me

I've pulled myself

through it all

And I still try

whenever I fall

But as you fade away

I'm beginning to question

All the sense you ever made

Go on

get back to your usual life

While I'll be stuck in lies

Breathing in and breathing out

Trying to figure out

Why my feet are stuck

On the ground

As I'm trying to

Run away from my life

May I just disappear for a while?

And I know

I told you I was okay

the whole time

But we both know

I'm so bad at lying

And you can tell

Just by the look

Into my eyes

So now, tell me how

You can go on like

Nothing matters

As I'm dying inside

With nowhere to hide

Do you expect me

to prepare myself

for you to leave

Just like you did before

so it won't hurt anymore?

Should I give up

Should I still try

What could I say

for you not to treat me this way

I wish there was

The right words

To make you stay

Wishing one day

Maybe you'll realize

Before it's too late

Let's pretend

One last time
