I barely knew you
Yet now I am so void
Why does my heart feel so heavy?
Why was I so foolish to let you in?
How come I was so egotistical?
I knew what would happen.
I just refused to accept
Somehow I thought I would be enough.
I should have learned by now
I will never be enough
I'm not enough for me,
How could I be for someone else?
It has nothing to do with 'me'
So you say
But I am the common factor
The 'x' that appears in every equation
I wasn't enough to make you believe
Believe that it's all worth it.
So now I get to cry myself to sleep
I walk through my days with a false bravado
The strength that I portray
it's just a facade - a brace
If only I were half as strong as
I've led others to believe
What I need is you
But you can't provide that
So I'll tug on my brace
And make it through another day
