" Beautiful I am
That's what you always say
Your arms a shield of armor
When you're holding me this way
Yet a part of me dies every time
I hear those words you recite
Why can't you see
How broken I am inside
Beautiful you say, the blood only proves you wrong
There's just so much that time can not heal
The scars they say it all
Must I be so damned to feel
So many battles we've fought, so many battles we've lost
That's the price you pay for holding on so long
Our hearts ignoring the costs
But never quite defeating the odds
Rock bottom has brought me closer to the edge
In time your memories will fade and I know you will see
The biggest regret, the greatest mistake
You ever made was loving me
Someday I promise
You'll find someone new
Love this blood upon my hands
It's all for you
Beautiful I am
That's what you always say
Still a part of me dies, every time
You hold me this way "
I love this. In some way, I connect to this. The way she has described the brokenness of it all, WOW.
