I see you there
watching me from afar
with my body worn
and my heart ripped

you come and find me
as if you knew something better
maybe you do
or perhaps you don’t

either way, you push me
into believing in you
it’s wrong to do so
you cannot be trusted

it’s not my time or my patience
that you care for
no, it’s just what i can do
to help you out

stop pushing
stop trying
i won’t be who you want me to be
i can’t.
