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
