you pull me in

you push me away

i don't know who

i'm supposed to be today

i don't know what you want

and you won't tell me

cause you won’t even talk -

i’ve tried

you cut me down

then shut me down

i should have tried more

and now

i have to carry that

i’m sorry i’m not yelling

like you want me to

i no longer wish -

to give

that sort of control to you

and more than that

i’m sure you'll see

it will let me become -

a better me

i went looking for answers

came back with more queries

i wanted something, anything

not thin circumstantial theories

all i found was loneliness

where you and i once stood

i don't want to walk away

but i know now that i should
