Crushed Love

Why do you build me up?
Only to let me down?
Why do you get my hopes up?
Just to disappoint me?
Why do you even care at all?

I thought you were all I needed
But now I'm not so sure
I spent time pleading
But I can't beg you anymore
If you can't honestly see.

I think you are so perfect
And I love you just the way you are
That I forgot that my heart needed protection
Burned once again
And I was the burned object.

I wish you could wrap your arms around me
And assure me everything will be alright
I'm at a loss for words and can't breathe
Things will never be alright
I guess this is how it has to be...
