You

Titled You by Ariel Gray

I’m writing this for you to find
I think about it a lot
How you should have seen it sitting there
How you didn’t
See I was in this thing alone
I always saw that
Nothing was ok
No one to talk to
You never listened
That’s how I knew I was alone
And I was so scared
And you weren’t there
I don’t know why I’m staying here
Where you don’t even know how I feel
When his arms are open so wide
And I want you to find this
Then it will be you
Left to cry there all alone
Knowing you should have seen
Now all you have is this paper
As my hands bleed over it
I hear the ringing in my ears
Do you even see me anymore?
How could you not see you were causing this?

When my lips fell silent
When my face went numb
When my hands started shaking
It was you

My voice couldn’t tell
But I’m saying it now
It was you
So many things I feel inside
And dead is just one of them
All I see is lies
I’m trying to believe you
But you need to listen

When my lips fell silent
When my face went numb
When my hands started shaking
It was you

I’m in this thing alone
I knew better than to love more
To care more
To feel more
I knew you could break me down
And there you did it

When my lips fell silent
When my face went numb
When my hands started shaking
It was you

I opened my eyes
Why didn’t I remember-
I was so alone
If you don’t care, then why do I?
Now all you have is this paper
And I’ve left you to cry alone
