You reassured me your love was sincere yet I never let you in
You offered me room to vent but I filled the bottle to the brim
You brought lanterns to my dark world and I let it rain
You helped me cover my scars and I exposed your own
You showed me the way out of misery and I locked you in
You never expected perfect but I judged you by your flaws

What kind of breathing creature am I to let you suffer for your kindness
How could I race to shatter your heart
You discovered a world of joy yet I set the map on fire
As much as I have wronged you
You walk around with a burden of tissues to wipe every tear that strolls past my cheeks

I know you are surprised by the heart I own which lacks colour
But I have come to let you go
Even though it drains us both
But it's clear you deserved more than I could offer.
