coming apart (break down)

By SourInnocence

I’m coming apart at my seams,
I rip them out all by myself.
I would say I’m sorry,
But I can’t help hurting you.
Oh you’re so fragile, and I don’t care.
I’ll throw you around again, again.
And it makes me feel big,
It makes me feel strong
to love someone so weak.
And I’m there to put you back together,
After I tear you open; tear you apart.
But who puts me back together,
When I tear myself apart.
I’m so fragile, but no one knows.
I throw myself around again.
And the cut heals me.
And the blood relaxes my pain.
And I’m the only one there.
To put myself back together,
Just to tear my scars open again.
But I can’t help hurting everyone,
They’re so strong. And I don’t care.
I’ll break them down.
Break them down to me.
