You Make My Heart Hurt
Every time we actually start to talk
somewhere along the way
we touch on subjects I'd rather not dwell on.
I am trying to convince myself I'm over you
And you keep saying things to make me remember how much I wanted you
How hard I tried
You make my heart hurt
and my eyes begin to sting
I just wish it was easy to let you go
and stay friends
but so far the friendship only reminds me of us
because us was always more like a friendship - with extras
and you don't help - tossing in all those little things
the worry
the minor jealousy
the comments
that make me understand you still want me
but I can't go there - you saw to that
not without giving up my dignity and pride
and when you scorn the feelings of a gentler kind
you don't have much beyond that
do you?
