Why am I crying for you?
I did everything I knew to do,
But it still wasn't good enough.
You destroyed everything inside of me,
You are my beautiful cancer.
Eating at away at my kindness, my chivalry.
You spat it back in my face,
Forcing me to regurgitate at what I've become.
I loved you the best I knew how,
And you crushed me for it.
I am a shell of a ghost.
You drained so much of what I was,
I don't even know who the hell I am anymore.
Why is love so cruel?

These bitters tears roll off so sweet,
Why am I crying for you?
I did everything I knew to do,
But it still wasn't good enough.
You destroyed everything inside of me,
You are my beautiful cancer.
Eating at away at my kindness, my chivalry.
You spat it back in my face,
Forcing me to regurgitate at what I've become.
I loved you the best I knew how,
And you crushed me for it.
I am a shell of a ghost.
You drained so much of what I was,
I don't even know who the hell I am anymore.
Why is love so cruel?
