This is about you

I don't know what to do
I wish you didn't make me decide.
I feel like things happened and then suddenly came to a stop
It could have been better. We were going forward
I'm spinning backwards now. I promised myself I wouldn't.
I'm not happy with myself
This is why:
I'm staying because I feel like being with you is going to make me happier than me getting over you alone.
I'm holding on to something there
Hoping it will prove to me it's worth holding on to.
Why can't you just take back time for me?
I feel like the world would have to change to make these tears go away.
Why can't you change the world for me?
Sometimes I ask too much, I know.
But it's as simple as this
Listen because I will only say this one more time:
Bring me back to where I used to be. I know you can.
Happiness is all I ask for baby and if that means changing the world, then you better start now.
I told myself that I wouldnt self inflict the pain of heartbreak.
I've gone against my word, and now I feel like I'm liar.
At the end of the day I ask myself "is it all worth it?"
I've given you a second chance; now show me I won't have to give you another.
I'm starting to drift. Bring me back babe. Just bring me back.
I don't want to give myself up for you.
I'm drifting..... Where did I go?
I've given you so much that I don't think I can pull myself back alone.
So do this for me: bring me back to where I used to be.
I don't want to be jealous, but it feels like every time I walk away you'll forget my hurt face.
The tears that sink into my skin are starting to sting.
Please make this hurt go away.
I could've been so different.
I hate this person I change into when someone takes away my trust.
Its mine, so why do you think you can own it.
You took this away from me, my strength within that my mother has taught me to have.
Where has my self respect gone?
That's the one thing you said you hated about her,
that you said she didn't have
but now I find you taking away mine.
I'm not like her.
You don't need to change me.
I want to be free of this emotional ride.
I got on it with you, but now I feel like I'm getting off alone.
It was a free ride and I took it,
but what i cannot understand is why am I paying for it?
This isn't me..... I hope you understand.
I hope you understand that my request is simple.
Happiness is all I ask for.
If you can't give this to me than I'm getting off, and I'm not looking back this time at that person I had turned into. I'm going forward by myself.
