Band-aids

So, broken left and bleeding,
My thoughts go on deceiving.
Lost in that you would care,
Just left here to swear.
So leave me band-aids, so I can cover,
It's the last thing I'll ask, my lover.

I bit my tongue against the tide,
And never did I once confide.
In all the emotions I was really feeling,
And underneath it all, I was seething.
You kissed me with such sweet lies,
Tonight I find them to be my lullabies.

I lick the wounds as if to clean,
But in my eyes the pain does gleam.
My thoughts do rage as if to understand,
I did everything you asked, everything you demand.
Yet, here I was left, broken up still
Still I am free to do my own will.

If you ask me now, if I still loved you
I'd say I do, cause I know it'd be true.
I stand to meet my next day,
You can't have everything your way.
I knew this lesson, you taught me well.
But from this my soul, I will not sell.

So even though my heart still bleeds,
And yearns to have all it's needs.
I know that I will live on without you,
Sad to say, that I would stay and doubt you.
And so the band-aids are good and true,
These are the only things I want from you.
