Save It For Yourself.

How can I begin to express how much I never knew
the pain of being left behind; the hurt I got from you?
We hand our hearts aside like they are sugar treats,
and in return, we're left naked in car back seats.
I feel used and I don't like the way it crawls up my skin;
a sticky residue that leaves me scratching from within.
All I ever wanted was a kiss that meant I was secure.
All I ever wanted was to see someone and be sure,
be sure that I didn't have to hide anything at all,
and that if it ever happened, they'd catch me when I fall.
When I looked at you, I saw all this and so much more;
you hooked my heart, showed me life outside the door.
You helped me see the world in a lighter shade,
when I was with you, I thought the sun would never fade.
For so long you were the only thing I could hold on to,
then suddenly one day, it was you, but it wasn't you.
And you knew that I would do absolutely anything,
and so I found myself doing just about everything.
And I know now, after you pushed my heart away,
that I will never love another, because love will never stay.
