I’m not good enough anymore <br />I’m not everything you want <br />I rest my thoughts against your bed <br />You try to wipe away my tears, lift up my head <br />It’s been so long since I can say <br />That I knew you were happy to be with me <br />It’s been so long since I’ve heard <br />You say I’m the best you’ve ever had, I miss every word <br /> <br />I lived to be your only one <br />Exactly what I get from you <br />Why have we grown so far apart? <br />I remember just the way it felt to be your guardian <br /> <br />I’m a broken picture without a frame <br />I’m a lonely outcast without a name <br />I rest my head against your breasts <br />You run your fingers through my hair, you try your best <br />It’s hard enough to stay alive <br />Being your angel was what I felt inside <br />Now that that’s gone I am nothing <br />What I would give for you to tell me you really love me <br /> <br />I hoped to be the only one <br />You know just what you are to me <br />My hand will never quite reach yours <br />I remember just the way it felt against my beating… <br /> <br />I’m a wreck, oh I’m losing out <br />It’s what I get for housing all this doubt <br />The more I try, the worse I get <br />This is how it feels to just pretend <br />That I’m yours <br />The only one you need <br />Pretend that I’m everything <br /> <br />I’m not what I used to be <br />It’s not the same for you or me<br /><br />Christopher's Dead<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-wouldn-t-hurt-so-bad-if-we-didn-t-pretend/
