I never tried so hard

Or gone so far

I built myself to be deserving of your attention

Did I even mention?

How blind I'd been to your selfish indifferences

To my own inconsistences

Will make me enter an early grave

Did I even mention?

How blind I had been

My own inconsistences

Left me begging for your philosophies

Distraught by these false lines you taught

I followed you like a dog

Without a second thought

Don't you know that I was

Desperate for your affection

It's become an affliction

The satisfaction

I crave
