ReplyDeleteI can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
I can be your secret
I can be the one who cuts you loose
And it's no use in trying
If you won't tell me the truth
And it's no use in crying
If I can't cry to you
I can be your hunger
I can be the one who lets you down
I can be your anger
I can be your voice without a sound
And it's no use in running
if you won't admit where you've been
and it's no use in loving
if you can't stand to let me in
All of your pieces broken
For me
All of me poured out for you
Only
For you.
Love it, Danielle Mari!! Funny.
