Just Love Me

Nothing compares
To sorrow and hurt
Nothing can bruise
Like your face in the dirt
No one can see
What's buried inside
Though God only knows
It's not something I hide

How long can I walk
Wearing a mask
That is put on to show you
Whatever you ask
When will you tear
This thing off my face
And realize it's me
You try to erase

One woman can only
Be someone she's not
For only so long
Til her soul starts to rot
And although I love you
Enough to implement change
No one's ever worth
This hurt that's engaged

I'm waiting for you
To love me who I am
Not someone you've created
In some make believe land
If you can't accept
That I'm me in my core
Maybe we really ought not
Be a we anymore.
