Complicated Affairs

[♥(Baby)♥];;
I want you to know [[.w.h.o..I..a.m.]],
but not -e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e- can s e e me
[[N_o..o_n_e..e_l_s_e]] will {{.u.n.d.e.r.-.s.t.a.n.d.}}
what it means for me to ..b.l.e.e.d..

{.{Please}.};;
>>don't take this the <<-wrong<<-way<<-
I really am [{+.just.+.fine.+}]
But when it comes to ~{e.x.p.r.e.s.s.i.n.g}~
all these .d.i.r.t.y..l.i.t.t.l.e..s.e.c.r.e.t.s...
[[♥you'll..just..have..to..{{trust}}..me..this..time♥]]

'Cause;;
you >>don't want to know me,
{not-like-that}, baby, no
What you'd see is ^b-e-y-o-n-d^ .u.g.l.y.;
it's something I _r-e-f-u-s-e_ to show

&& not [..just..] to you, darlin',
'cause then it wouldn't be {{.m.y..s.e.c.r.e.t.}}
I've been [|[keeping]|] this from the whole |w-o-r-l-d|
&& I do it without an ounce of .r.e.g.r.e.t.

'Cause;;
baby, this is something you can't [help-m.e-with]
{♥[Not-your-gang, your-posses, your-connections]♥}
'cause this is something I chose {_to_live_with_}
though it .c_a_m_e. with so many ~o.b.l.i.g.a.t.i.o.n.s}}

So, {.{please}.};;
baby, >>don't ask questions
{~{I.g.n.o.r.a.n.c.e..is..b.l.i.s.s}~}, as we both know
&& I haven't a-d-m-i-t-t-e-d it to {{.m.y.s.e.l.f.}} yet
&& I don't plan to e v e r do so

[♥(Baby)♥];;
this .d.i.r.t.y..l.i.t.t.l.e..w.h.o.r.e. is a g o n e r
&& all she n-e-e-d-s is some of your ♥
to [[.keep.]] her {~{safe}~} in her |.n.i.g.h.t.m.a.r.e.s.|,
&& [[.keep.]] her +[strong}+ when she's had .-e-n-o-u-g-h-.

'Cause when everything is said && done, ♥{lover}♥,
I'll probably be _d_e_a_d_ >>[[b-e-f-o-r-e- h.i.g.h..s.c.h.o.o.l's o_v_e_r_]]<<

Translation:

Baby;
I want you to know who I am,
but not everyone can see me
No one else will understand
what it means for me to bleed

Please;
don't take this the wrong way
I really am just fine
But when it comes to expressing
all these dirty little secrets...
you'll just have to trust me this time

'Cause;
you don't want to know me,
not like that, baby, no
What you'd see is beyond ugly;
it's something I refuse to show

And not just to you, darlin',
'cause then it wouldn't be my secret
I've been keeping this from the whole world
and I do it without an ounce of regret

'Cause;
baby, this is something you can't help me with
Not your gang, your posses, your connections
'cause this is something I chose to live with
though it came with so many obligations

So, please;
Baby, don't ask questions
Ignorance is bliss, as we both know
and I haven't admitted it to myself yet
and I don't plan to ever do so

Baby;
this dirty little whore is a goner
and all she needs is some of your love
to keep her safe in her nightmares,
and keep her strong when she's had enough

'Cause when everything is said and done, lover,
I'll probably be dead before high school's over
