Safe Check
I just can't do it
I can't tell you I'm okay
Because obviously I'm not
I'm a mess
A train wreck carrying too much embargo
Life is spiraling
Most times up, but others times down
The rest of my life is great
Until I get down to you
I get down on my hands and needs
And I pray for instructions
To love endlessly, yet to know when it's not worth it
I don't think you're worth it
Giving a second chance
Accepting that everybody deserves 'the benefit of the doubt'
I can't believe that anymore
I can't keep believing that you didn't mean to do it
And because you're going through a lot
Your actions are justified
What you're doing isn't right
Not to me
I never hurt you
I never would
I respected what I thought you were worth
You disrespected mine
Cheated me
Cheated me of the basic necessities to feel safe
I don't feel safe anymore
I feel the need to guard myself
Love me because that's the only way I can protect myself
Your love just isn't enough
It isn't enough to comfort me
Nor reassure me that there's somebody out there that has my back
Because of you, I have to watch my back
Keep a tight grip and my armor on
It just isn't safe anymore
Isn't safe to say you love me
