Giving Away

I'm not so bright,

And I'm not so pretty;

I've given up the idea

That anyone could love me.

But I don't want to be alone, 

So you can break me down the middle;

You don't have to love me,

Just stitch me up with your needle.

And is that really all that we want?

To hurt and then apologize;

See our pain in someone else's eyes,

Knowing sorry can't make it go away?

That's not what I was looking for,

But that's all that cupid's giving away.

I'll say I'm okay,

But I'm not alright;

You'll tell me you love me,

But we only ever fight.

I would stand up to you,

But I'm much too little,

And I need you to sew up

This tear you made down my middle.

And is that really all that we want?

To hurt and then apologize;

See our pain in someone else's eyes,

Knowing sorry can't make it go away?

That's not what I was looking for,

But that's all that cupid's giving away.

You tell me lies;

I try to believe you.

I keep on staying,

But I don't know why I do.

I just don't want to be alone,

So I let you break me down the middle,

Then you tell me you love me,

And stitch me up with your needle.

Is that really all you wanted?

To hurt and then apologize;

To see your pain reflected in my eyes,

Knowing it will never go away?

That's not what I was looking for,

But that's all that you're giving away.

Don't wanna say things I can't mean,

But that's all that I know how to say.

That's all that we're giving away;

Giving away.
