I know, I’m not this handsome man.
Truthfully, I feel, like I grotesque you.
Cause who, could befriend an ugly beast?
Full of emotional baggage.
Sure would love you every day, that’s who I am.
Never want to let you go.
Tears of a beast, roses wilting away.
Petal, petal, petal, petal.
I’m dying alone.
Yet, I’m so young.
I just think you’re a sweet friend.
The beauty neglected, by the ugly.
I love you, but I don’t understand love.
It’s hard to be self-aware.
Please, don’t leave my life.
Please, don’t go.
Please, help me feel welcome.
Be the friend I need.
I need a friend.
I got stay alone for now.
So I can be more complete.
A broken man, can fix himself.
I’ve said and done a million things wrong.
But I can still get something right.
I need to glue the cracks shut.
Need to keep evolving.
I love you but, obsession isn’t healthy.
Need you, has a million meanings.
I need it to mean one thing.
I just need you apart of my life.
But I can’t be this way.
Drives people away.
