How Can You Put Up With Me?

by Heidi Harover   Oct 24, 2006


I don't see how you can put up with me
When I find it hard to trust anyone
I don't even have faith in what I can see
I'm always hiding or trying to run

You tell me I'm funny, beautiful, and smart
I never really met someone with a kind and sweet heart
You say my imperfections don't show
I don't ever want to let you go

I really wish I didn't meet the people I've met
They pushed me down and walked away
The harmful things they said, the guilt I kept
But you picked me up and said you would stay

I thought life would give second chances, but it doesn't
I did things I thought would be fun, but it wasn't
Since I was little, I wanted life to be a fairytale
But it turned to cruelty, hatred, and jealousy as well

I make mistakes that I can't see,
How can you put up with me?

Inspired by: An old friend and ex, R.Y.
