Common Beauty
you grounded me
though i'm never too far from the breaking point
and of course i loved you
but i wish i could forget you
and all the lies i was forced
to pull out of the depths of my heart
now i'm only talking from fear
cuz every time i come back questioning the tears
but we fought for what we believed in
and now i feel like i'm living inside of a cage
shifting through our ancient ruins
but you don't know how heavy this burden is
cuz you are a beautiful liar
and i'm afraid to be heard
afraid i'll be heard again
i mean i carved your name
into my heart
with a switchblade
cuz i thought you were beautiful
long before i saw the real you
but you broke my heart
before anyone else had the chance
and i didn't give a shit
but listen, you beautiful bitch
i am my father's daughter
and minor conflicts start wars
a picture shouldn't be judged by its color
so now i will keep my walls up
cuz love is not for me
you promised to hold me
with your care
but now all i feel is blue and very poetic
i was eating off your plate of lies
and i'll always be ready to forgive
but for now i write
only about our beautiful devistating truth
and the way you looked once you knew
