Broken Girl

you thought i was pretty.
and i needed your smile
and gentleness.

i've watched you love me
unconditionally.
desperately wanting to do the same.

i'm not sure i  can let you go.
but you can't hold me forever.
it's better this way.

your arms held me together,
and your hands held back my hair.
that's what you get for loving a broken girl.

what did you expect?
baby,
that's just what you get for loving a broken girl.
