Getting into a relationship that started on lies
I never meant to hurt you
All I wanted was to be all that you needed
I tried hard to fit the mold of who I thought you wanted
I told you I was okay with it I wanted to go that far I wanted you
I was wrong
What I wanted and what you wanted were two different things
I wanted to be loved
You wanted to give love
But our views on what love is were as different as the sun and moon
You told me I was beautiful and I sat there in silence
You held my hand and I held you at a distance
You told me you loved me and I said I wasn't ready
When you put your arms around me I felt safe
When you asked me about my dreams I lied
I told you I forgot my past because I was afraid you wouldn't accept me
I was afraid that you would look at the little girl hidden under the mask and you would hate her
