Just So I Know

I cried for you today
Did u notice?
I cried for you today
Did you see?
I cried for you and only you
Not at all for me
But u didn’t even have the courtesy
To care
Maybe because you weren’t even there

My lip trembles and my cheeks goes red
As I try to hold back the tears I shed
I doodle on my paper, my finals are tomorrow
But how can I focuss when my heart bleeds in sorrow

My pencil breaks just like my heart
But I’ll use the sharpener to make it sharp
But my heart cannot be fixed
Nor can it erase
And when it wears out
It cannot be replaced
Like this pencil

The friction between my hand and your cheek
As I slapped you before I left
Just made both of my knees go weak
And my heart pounded in my chest

Even though I said I hate you
I can’t get you out of my mind
Everywhere I go, I see you
You’re making me go blind

The fire that burns beneath my skin
Is turning me to ash deep within
And I try to grasp the wheel, but lately
Lately you’ve been driving me crazy
And I guess, perhaps, I suppose that maybe
Maybe I need you to save me

If I could feel your breath on my shoulder just one last time
Then maybe I wouldn’t cry myself to sleep at night
And if I could once again hold your hand
Maybe then you’d understand
That I need you
Maybe then you’d understand
That I breath you
My lungs long to hold you in me
Suck you in and take you with me

If I was superman you’d be my kryptonite
But you’d be my energy at the same time
You could snap your fingers and I’d be on my knees
You could get me to beg for anything

But what I pray for is one last night
To be with you without the fights
Maybe we could just stare at each other
Without having to say a word
Because I know you hear what I’m saying
Without having to be heard

One last night to sum it up
Just to know we’ve had enough
Just so I know I won’t come crying back
Hoping we can relive the past
Just so I know I need not shed the tears
So that I know that our decisions clear
Just so I know I can sleep at night

Knowing I’m not in love with you
