It’s much easier not caring
About anything really
I wish I didn’t
I cared too much unfortunately
I’d be more free than I am
More upbeat, more happy
Living is easy with eyes closed
So leave me alone
I’m only sleeping
I’m putting up walls
I prefer to hide away
Cuz I took a risk a few times
Like a fool
All alone on a hill
Where I can see everything
But they don’t see me
No contact
I don’t want to look
Sometimes I want to disappear
Leave people with the memories
Of me in this moment
Or moments past
Go to the wilderness
Free as a bird
But I’ve learned once
It’s the next best thing to be
I wish I never experienced
The best feeling in the world
Wipe my memory of you
A clean slate
Leaving smudges
Take me away sweet song
I’ll cry anyways
I still feel the void
Cold and familiar
And through the absence
Leaving behind a sense
Of something warm and calm
It creates the most pain
Slowly decaying, withering away
Eroding the walls and revealing
My emotions of you

Help me, I'm hurting
Another day of smiles
Prepared for the best and worst
Planning an unknown future
Your happiness matters most to me

erasing you hasn't been simple
i never will completely
deleting pictures and messages
sorting it all out so neatly

you know i love the rain
listening to it pour
i wish you the very best
but i won't be here anymore

i know you're hurting too
we're stuck feeling so blue
i know you're hurting too
it's what's best for me and you

it's painful for us both
don't let me keep coming back
how can you still love me
there's so much that we lack

you loved when i sang
i'm stuck now singing about you
i hate that it's come to this
it's true

i know you're hurting too
it's hard to go through
i know you're hurting too
it's what's best for me and you
i actually wrote this as a song haha

This pain is not ending.
I’m not depressed.
I’m in pain. I’m agony.
Because i can’t get u out of me. Out of my head, my bones, my memories, my dreams.
You’re all I think about. And at night I get angry. Angry cause u left me. As though I meant nothing to u. And maybe I never did. And this was all just a game to you.
I’m still hoping for u to come back.
But I’m dying every night in bed and crying myself to sleep. You still mean the world to me. Even though u hurt me. Hurt me more than I thought was possible to be  hurt again.
Maybe I am a fool.
But maybe u are. A fool to choose to go alone. A fool, because I was there for you. I wasn’t enough. And you weren’t, too.
But none of this really matters. Because I still ******* love you.
And love doesnt make sense, I was told.
So yeah. Maybe we’re both fools.
Still same old heartache…
