I've been thinking alot about us,

the way our dynamic works,

the way we work,

the way i never come first.

and i need you.

and youre everything.

but i want to be everything too,

i want to be something to you.

i want you to want me. and I know you say you do,

and you look at me like that,

but theres something you have yet to prove,

and i just want my fifty percent back.

i want to get back what i give,

i want my fair share,

is it so bad to ask for your full attention?,

i just want you to be there.

but i give and i give, and i put in all this effort,

whats it even for,

if i cant have what i give,

whats the point of being yours.

im sitting here wishing on some stupid lucky star,

because i think maybe if i stay,

youll actually let me be part of who you are.

or that eventually youll let me in in some way.

if youre so seriously not gonna be what i need,

why are you still here,

and why the hell are you still pulling me by this string?

im starting to think maybe i should end things now,

so in the future my heart wont be pulled from my skin,

because you want to get out,

and i still want in.
