You've hurt me so many times,

But I don't know how to tell you that.

I act like what you say doesn't hurt me,

But the truth is, your words hurt like knives.

You make fun of me,

You belittle me and make feel stupid,

And I don't know how to tell you to stop.

I'm tired of crying over your words.

I don't want to hurt you,

But I don't think you realize that you're hurting me.

I know that I'm far from perfect,

but I've owned up to my mistakes.

You know that I struggle with guilt,

And sometimes it feels like you use that against me.

You know that I'd feel so guilty if I left you,

And you use that to your advantage.

I'm tired of you making me feel like nothing,

But I can't help but feel bad for you.

I've given you all a person could give someone,

And you want more.

I've given you all the love that i can afford to give,

But I get nothing in return.

That's not a healthy relationship,

And what sucks is that we both know

That I'll never have the guts to tell you any of this.

So I'll stay unhappy in this unhealthy relationship,

Just so you can be somewhat happy

Because I know how to make sacrifices for people that I love,

But that's obviously something you're not capable of doing.

So don't blame me for your problems

Because you have no reason to hate me,

But trust me when I say

You've given me every reason in the world to hate you.
