You're Right, I Break Your Heart

I tell you off when you do too much

Because I know you'll put yourself in

more pain.

I tell you you're loved, even when you say

"I'm not lovable,"

Because I mean it when I say you are.

I still love you, when you get mad because

I know deep down, you're mad at yourself,

Not me.

I break your heart when I won't let you do

certain things.

Only because I know when you're hurting,

Even when you're not telling.

I pull you up when you want to stay in the darkness,

Because I know the light is where you'll find happiness.

I hold you tight when you tell me your

'Horrible, A bastard, An Idiot, A knobhead, Useless, and a Waste of Space,'

Because you're none of those things,

You're just in pain, and feeling ashamed.

You get angry with me for nothing,

And I sit there and listen to you ranting;

When you are calm,

I hold your hand,

And I tell you that you are something.

I break your heart when I don't agree

with all of the bad things, you call yourself.

The one thing you don't understand is that

I can see these bad things are not you.

You find it upsetting that I see through the lies

that this horrible pain has taught you,

But the pain is not you,

you are you,

So, when I break your heart by disagreeing,

Remember, I'd rather be true to you.

When I break your heart;

I do it in the name of love.
