save my soul

I've written all of my secrets,
In paper doves and little notes.
Can't you see all the erased marks?
And all of the rejected folds?

You didn't teach me what I needed to know . . .

Did you do this on purpose?
Did you build me just to watch me fall?
To see me at the bottom, when I spent,
All my time just trying to learn to stand tall?
With your sweet trust in me,
You've conquered me, completely . . .
Oh well. I'm already broken,
You can't really break me.

You told me it's okay if I don't believe in anyone.
But now I wonder, was that really true?
I only believe in permanent things I told you.
That's when you said, "I'll always be there for you."

But where are you now . . . ?

Did you do this on purpose?
Did you build me just to watch me fall?
To see me at the bottom, when I spent,
All my time just trying to learn to stand tall?
With you sweet trust in me,
You've conquered me completely . . .
Oh well, I'm already broken.
You can't really break me.

Silly rhymes,
Good, happy times.
Trapped in my head . . .
Trying to make sense of them,
Though I can remember them,
Wish I could forget instead . . .

You told me secrets and made me believe in them,
Even though they seemed so untrue.
But now I think . . . Maybe you didn't lie to me.
Maybe you believed them too . . .

Did you do this on purpose?
Did you build me just to watch me fall?
I know you promised, but regardless,
I'm not stronger after all.
With my sweet trust in you,
I've fallen through, completely . . .
Kiss my eyes, Save my soul.
Even if you don't want me . . .
Kiss my eyes, Save my soul.
Even if you've forgotten me . . .
