Build



Build me Up tear me down
I try to scream but I can’t make a sound
My throats so dry I can’t breathe
Why the f*ck did I decide to leave
I have to fight to pretend every day
That all I wanted to do was stay
I never wanted to walk away

remember if I push you away or anything happens that I love you “

In my head those words have stuck
Which is why I never gave a f*ck
That from the start
We’ve mostly been apart
All that ever mattered is you had my heart ❤️

Now the years have gone by
I still try not to cry
I fight back tears every day
Of all the words I wish I had the guts to say

Your name rips from my lips
