i never was one to stand up for myself
and you were never one to stop
your screaming
and now i'm remembering all
the days
when i let myself get knocked down
and i wish that i could
turn time back
silence your voice before you
spoke
because that would erase the
pain that i have
and my heart would be less shattered
the moment you walked into my life

i was thinking
you didn't belong with me
but i didn't know how
to say it to you
without losing you completely

because to lose you would mean
losing myself and i just
don't think i could handle that
you've proven what i've
always believed

i'm just not strong enough
to be a fighter
