just don’t say you’re here for me if you don’t plan on staying through the storms.
No, I dont expect you to go up against anybody else.
I dont expect you to prove yourself more worthy than the next guy.

You wont find yourself with bloody hands or broken bones, but that doesnt mean it will be easy.
Youll probably find yourself with a few bruises on your heart.
Just to make things clear, I dont need you tochaseme.

Im not running away from you.
Im not asking you to settle for an unrequited love.
Im not asking you to want somebody who doesnt want you because the truth is that I do.
By telling you this, Im telling you that I want you more than anything.
Im rooting for you, my hope is that youll come out victorious in the end.
Its not a fight against people, although sometimes I wish it was.
Something tells me my demons are much more dangerous.
Theyll tell me over and over again that you dont care.
Tell me that you do.
Theyll remind me of all the times Ive been lied to, cheated, and betrayed.
Theyll tell me youre no different.
Ill probably have a go at leave you before you have the chance to.
yo dont leave, but more importantly, yo dont let me go.
Theyll cover my mouth so I cant speak, but kindly dont mistake my silence for hypocrisy.
I promise theres so much I want to say, but Ill just have to show you.
My heart is heavy and my soul is tired.
My body is weak.
I put up a damn good fight, but everythings better with someone on your side.
like dont say youll fight for me if youre just going to give up.
Dont bother if your intentions are not sincere.
The last thing I need is ill-intentioned people in my way.
I cant afford to be weighed down by uncertainty or filled with empty promises.
The heart is strong.
I can make a mosaic out of it, but its never the same as it was before.
I fear that with eachheartbreak, my heart looks a lot less like art.
If Im being completely honest, I dont know how many more times I can put it back together.
Fighting off my demons is one thing, but heartbreak hurts more than any pain they could ever inflict.
Funny, how the people who you trust the most can also hurt you the most.
I understand if you say its too much to handle.
like dont say youre here for me if you dont plan on staying through the storms.
kindly dont say you love me if you dont.
I cant afford another heartbreak.
Id rather fight alone than alongsidetemporary people.
If your heart isnt in it, you dont stand a chance.
If your heart isnt in it, dont bother trying.
If youre not ready to fight for me every day, it’s crucial that you walk away.
