Outline

Hey

There is something that I need to say

But I could never say it to your face

I don't want to hurt you

I write these words for me too

Day, I think I like you more when you're away

When just an outline of your face remains

I always try to please you

It's just something that I do

I've been tucked away on a bookshelf

Wedged between love stories

Don't know how to love you and myself

I'm afraid it's happening

Again

Say, you like me better when I'm myself

How can I be when I don't know who else

I am or who I could be

When I'm with you I'm not me

I've been writing lines on the pages

But nothing makes sense

I'm just a mess

Don't know how to love you and myself

I'm afraid it's happening

Again

Hey, I think I like you more when you're away

When just an outline of your face remains

I always try to please you

It's just something that I do
