Strong As I Seem

Strong As I Seem

Oh dearest darling,
Rescue me
There's so much grief,
And it's taking over me
You lied,
You deceived,
And you used me
But I can't help but love,
And I can't help but want you
Wanna be in your arms tonight
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem

Perfection and deception
I'll never forgive you for all the things you've done to me
Can't touch you for more than a second
Can't resist you when you look at me

Sweet sweet love,
Save me from myself
Loving someone this much can't be good for my mental health
I love you far too much,
And it's killing me

Oh dearest darling,
Rescue me
There's so much grief,
And it's taking over me
You lied,
You deceived,
And you used me
But I can't help but love,
And I can't help but want you
Wanna be in your arms tonight
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem

No,
You can't do this again
Don't make fun of my love for you
I can't help it,
I can't stop it,
And I sure as hell can't fight it
And I don't wanna fight with you

You're so sweet,
And you're so gentle
But there's another side of you that I've seen before
I know you don't want to hurt me again,
But sweetheart you're a guy,
And I know what guys think about

Oh dearest darling,
Rescue me
There's so much grief,
And it's taking over me
You lied,
You deceived,
And you used me
But I can't help but love,
And I can't help but want you
Wanna be in your arms tonight
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem

Don't worry,
No don't worry about me
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem,
I guess I'm not as strong as I pretend to be
And you've seen what's in my heart,
And you know this weaker side of me

You've seen all that I've got
You know all that I'm not
But you don't see the tears that fall
When you look away from me
You can't see through
The fake smile on my face,
You never notice the pain in my eyes

Oh dearest darling,
Rescue me
There's so much grief,
And it's taking over me
You lied,
You deceived,
And you used me
But I can't help but love,
And I can't help but want you
Wanna be in your arms tonight
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem

You can't see me,
You can't see past the façade
You can't see the love,
And you can't see the pain
You can't see through this wall
I've put up around myself
To hide my feelings from you

Well here's the proof
That my wall's falling down
And here's the proof
That the chains on my heart
Are falling apart
Yeah here's the proof
That I've never been,
I guess I've never been
Quite as strong as I seem

Oh dearest darling,
Rescue me
There's so much grief,
And it's taking over me
You lied,
You deceived,
And you used me
But I can't help but love,
And I can't help but want you
Wanna be in your arms tonight
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem

This is how it feels
To sit by the phone
And wait for a call
That you know will never come,
And this is how it feels
To wait for the words you were supposed to speak but never left your lips
Yeah this is how it feels
To know ever piece of you
Is coming undone
And you know you can't put yourself back together,
And know that you'll never, 
No you'll never be the same again

Tonight is the night
That it all falls apart
Tonight is the night
That you'll rip out my heart
For the very last time,
Just one more time,
And then my life is over,
A life barely even started
Ruined by the one man I trusted

Oh dearest darling,
Rescue me
There's so much grief,
And it's taking over me
You lied,
You deceived,
And you used me
But I can't help but love,
And I can't help but want you
Wanna be in your arms tonight
I guess I'm not as strong as I seem
And you'll never see me
