They pick you up off the ground
Use you as long as they like
And then they throw you away
Say you're no longer their type
Is it the 9 pounds i put on from loving my body again?
Or is it the texture and pigment of my tired, tired skin?
When did you decide i wasn't good enough for you?
When you plant seeds of hope, be sure to follow through
Let me down easy
Go ahead and leave me
When a woman softer and smaller and sweeter gives her heart to you
Now i'm falling apart and i can't see straight
I'm afraid you were my glue
I could spend my time and money on making myself more beautiful
Or i could spend it
On the things i love to create and make and see and do
That's what i choose
So why does it kill me
To see you with somebody else?
It's not like you were ever mine
Though i spent my time deceiving myself
You say i'm easy and i know it's true
But i'm just trying to survive
Through intentions that are never true
