I wipe the tears off my face and put back on my shoes Soles bruised and ankles swollen but I continue You prolly knew I was underspoken so you didn't let me through My words would fly a thousand miles before getting through to you I used to think that didn't matter, but that was never true My psyche splattered on the ground, you wiped it off your shoe I'd slather unflattering thoughts across my mind Just to hide the blues Your patterns of abuse left me quite confused In a game of would you rather You would chatter like the chatterbox you were And then our feelings wouldn't matter By the time you finished speaking The room was reeking of an actor Who would rather hear the sound of his own voice Dastardly subvert my expectations Our conversations were one-sided Only entertaining your damn self But I promise you It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I can't look at your face It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I cannot move away It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I'm gonna have to change It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I won't be here to stay I'd always fight the urge to call you words That you had never heard from me before Always spoke tongue-in-cheek Till your cheek would bleed with pores You would think I was meek but I was merely seeking For a reason to believe in your Personage I paid homage to myself I reached and I acknowledged My self-worth was far more Than a correspondent To your ego's whim Used to think that we were kin But now I see it clearly Just how dearly you hold me within You prolly think I'll be complacent But I'm only waiting Conversations getting shorter by the minute When will you admit it Still love you, that's the honest truth But I promise you It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I can't look at your face It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I cannot move away It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I'm gonna have to change It hurts more than I can explain It hurts more than I can explain I won't be here to stay
