Every Word, Everything - September Stories

Lover’s embrace helps you to get to sleep at night

But how long until he realizes that he’s not the only one that you’ve seen

tonight

Using any way to keep him close

Showing only one face, the only one he’d known

Losing yourself within your personalities and questioning which one’s true

I’m sorry that being yourself isn’t good enough for people to love you

Cause you’ve loved to the point that it killed

You weren’t always this way

Clawing at any attention to feel contentment

I remember you in your innocence

Never letting anyone’s perceptions change you in the slightest

But you’ve grown to be someone else

You’ve lost your character over the years

Thinking that you weren’t good enough alone

Created personalities constructed of your fears

No wonder that you’ve never grown

Days pass

Months progress

They’re the same

All the same

And he believed (you)

(Every word you recite daily)

How do you look him in the eye when you come home?

He spends his days laboring for you

Completely uninformed of what you do on a nightly basis

When did it ever get this bad?

When did you become invested in this second life you have?

And lose all interest in the one supporting yours

He would have given anything in his life to keep you

But we all know that isn’t what you’d do

And he believed (you)

(Every word you recite daily)
