Splinters

Take this sliver off my leg, Even if I scream and beg For you to leave me just the same, As I was on that day Rip it off like a bandaid, It might scar but that'll be okay Im better off this way, Moving on and learning from the mistakes Just like when we were young Oh the way that splinter stung You want it out but still you run to avoid the pain A lost love isn't always bad You might gain more than you had I don't have anymore to say but time will tell I've been stubborn I've been young I know I'm not the only one We all dread the change to come but we need it still Do you remember your first tattoo The one that I gave to you Mistakes were made But you were it to this day Sometimes the memory is the shame Sometimes the beauty is filled with pain Sometimes the comfort is the crutch Sometimes it all feels like its to much I don't need it but I do I don't need it Because Ive got you And you've got me too
