Guys Like You

I asked him why'd he have to hurt me
He said he didn't really intend to
"It's just something us men do"
As though that made it fine by me
See, this will end right now and your lips will be on another mouth
While I think about you and cry myself to sleep
The world tells me I should be strong
That I must prepare for guys like you
That one day I'll find one who isn't trash in disguise like you
When I only did right by you
Maybe that's the part that's most disturbing
I gave you every part of me and you just left me hurting
Guys never do that
Us girls are grateful for every good trait you have so we just accept it
And then time passes and we give away ourselves
And discover all the parts of us that you left neglected
Like yes, the sex was amazing
And yes you talked so fucking sweet
But everytime I asked did you love me
You put the condom on and dove into me
Never said if you did
Left me wondering after the pleasure
Then don't text me for days
But I forget about it when we're together
Because I'm yours right now
And I crave you in the most ways
That I get so engulfed in your attention
That I forget I've been left on read for days
And the way that you guys get us
Is you're always so perfect in the beginning
And we mourn you as you change
Stages of grief with patience thinning
Like maybe he'll be how he used to
Maybe that's really how he must be
Maybe I'm the one who changed him
Maybe it's just me
See, y'all hurt us
And we're blamed for the heartbreak that you gave us
And y'all never really own up to it
Can't ever say that you gave up
That you got bored
That you saw new interest
You wanted the girl with the brown hair and the double d breasts
And you moved on
But you didn't tell me
While I'm wondering if you love me
Reminiscing on how you held me
But you never take responsibility
For how you destroy these girls
Leaving them with insecurities and trust issues
To bring out into the world
Ruining their next relationship
With a trash ass guy
Who's probably saying the same shit
And we always have to start over
Rebuild ourselves to try to love again
Reopen our bodies
And allow ourselves to be touched again
I wish you knew
The stress of giving your body away
To a man who might only want that
And to give it just to make him stay
You could never
I don't want to hear about the one girl you treated right
Lets talk about the one you left heartbroken tonight
Not the one who broke your heart several years ago
Because change comes with time
And you chose not grow
