The Trap

When will this get better?
I'm so sick of waiting for change
I know it will never come
I hold on for one more day
Push myself to the limit again
Another day living on the edge
I know you've said you can't let go
And sometimes I have to wonder why
Why is it so hard to let someone go?
Why can't you accept what happens
Like you once told me everyone must
You know what I want
And you know I can't have it
Your words cut at me like knives
Tearing me apart
Inch by inch of my flesh
Like paper beneath a razor
You say I can't let anything hold me back
But that's exactly what you intend to do
I try to move forward and you spring your trap
And attack me from all different sides
And through this breakdown I'm going through
I'm still holding on to hope
That one day you will realize
That in the final spin of things
Everything must end
