Those hazel eyes are soft; eyes that don’t belong to a killer.

Stockholm Syndrome

Those green eyes are soft; eyes that don't belong to a killer

How could you pull me in so easily

How could you let me get so attached

You suck me in

With false promises and soft kisses

My tears could fill the medicine bottles I'm forced to take because of you

"Sorry" that's all you say

after the words that are meant to kill

"If you two switched faces I'd get an upgrade"

An upgrade

Because you're the one who needs the upgrade

He's going to change

He's going to change

I need you to

Please

Because I can't live without you

But I can't be wanting to kill myself either

I can't be breaking my skin while you break my heart

Stockholm Syndrome

Falling in love with your capture

that's what's happened

I'm starting to realize

realize

You only like the sex

You only like being able to touch the skin no one else can

Like a trophy you've collected

Kissing the lips you won't let talk to you

You only like the love I give you

You won't return it though

You reap the benifits of the flower you won't water

You won't

Please

Please come back

Please the boy I met in december

My love I miss you

I miss the promises you never fulfilled

I deserve so much more than you

You've even admited it

But I don't want more

I want the perfect version of you I've created in my head

The guy who stops when I say no

The guy who doesn't touch and touch me even when I say stop

The guy who used to make my skin burn just by grazing my shoulder

Now I wish you'd never touch me again

At the same time I wish you'd never let go

The guy I wanted

I just finished the speech I'm going to say to you tonight

I don't think I love you anymore

I don't think I have for a while

Goodbye

Maybe they'll release me now
