Downfall

 
silently weep for things unsaid
bite your bottom lip
keep things in

bitter regret falls inside me
deep within cringe
the words come to the surface
desparate with need
I swallow them back down again

I'm cast in the shadows while my pride rules
you would never know I was in pain
I am quietly withdrawn

you look at me with questions in your eyes
I can't tell you what I feel
with my heart on the line
it hurts my love of you

I don't expect you to get it
I'll fall and get to my feet again
and pretend not to be broken

I lie to myself when it comes to you
I'll be fine without that guy
real love doesn't last
I'm better off alone

until I can feel no more
