Why don’t you care
I can’t make you anymore aware
I’m hurt you see
Let this be my last decree

I don’t want to go on
Look at me, writing some song
About a boy
Who treats me like his toy

All I do is cry
Why do I even try
Alone in this life
So much for being your perfect wife

I can’t breathe
You are so freaking naive
I want to be done
I’m so sick of us being “one”

I shouldn't cause a stir
I know you prefer
Me be silent
And keep the alignment

Silent I shall be
For it is the key
Forever, you and me
