"You don't know what you're doing
I used to look forward to the times we'd talk
You twist me, and you turn me-
I'm drowning in this sea of distortion
For you have gone too far
So, take your thoughts and your beliefs
Love me

You don't know how you feel
How can you say this is love?" ---
This is what you always ask me.
But I now dread seeing you.
For you try to tell me what I should do
And that I should trust you...
Instead of my heart.
Trying to make me into who you want me to be.
But can't you see when you contort who I am
You're suffocating me?
I'm suffocating in your perception of love
I'm questioning the reality of me...
And I wonder how far I will let you take this.
You've overstepped your boundaries
And you have no ownership over how I feel-
No, you have no ownership over me.
Your misperceptions and your misplaced concern
And end their fruitless pursuit of me.
And if you can be satisfied with what is left,
Then...
So that I may love.
Trust me
So that I may trust in you.
Let me go
So that I may let you in.
And maybe, just maybe, then-
You will finally see me.
