I Can’t (just don’t hurt me)

 

I’m just trying to be

The best version of me. 

Here I am

Incomplete 

But worthy of…

Your love, your trust 

I can’t get enough 

Your time, your lust 

I can’t get enough 

I don’t care what you do

Just don’t hurt me

I don’t mind anything 

Just don’t hurt me

Don’t 

Just don’t 

Don’t hurt me

Just don’t hurt me. 

I just want to be seen

Despite the in between 

That they talk

About me

Not knowing I 

Want love, want trust

I can’t get enough 

Want time, your lust

I can’t get enough. 

I don’t care what you do

Just don’t hurt me

I don’t mind anything 

Just don’t hurt me

Don’t 

Just don’t 

Don’t hurt me

Just don’t hurt me. 

Fairy tales and bitter lies have groomed me

To not expect anything but heart ache

Can you do it differently 

And give me a happy ending 

I don’t care what you do

Just don’t hurt me

I don’t mind anything 

Just don’t hurt me

Don’t 

Just don’t 

Don’t hurt me

Just don’t hurt me. 

Air 2022

 

I can’t breathe 

I’m suffocating 

I can’t escape 

You or any anything 

I’m trying to find my way

Free of my past 

And anything 

That lingers on

And maybe  one day soon 

I can breathe

Open up and breathe 

I’ll just breathe 

Despite everything 

I’m alone. 

Don’t know what to do. 

Right now I pray

For a damn sign 

Oh hey by the way I’m gay. 

True to myself 

And everything 

That’s not enough. 

And maybe  one day soon 

I can breathe

Open up and breathe 

I’ll just breathe 

Despite everything 

But inhale

One two three 

Release 

And just breathe 

One two three 

Release. 

And maybe  one day soon 

I can breathe

Open up and breathe 

I’ll just breathe 

Despite everything
