The Quiet*

You know what they say about red flags and people who wear rose tinted glasses.

i got cheered up by a complete stranger
i'm sad again. 
because i wish it was a friend. 
 

I need a reminder that I matter 
because 
I can not see straight lately.

I need someone to tell me 
if he's moving too fast. 
I just got out of fast moving 
relationship. 
I can't be caught up 
making the same 
mistakes. 

You would think that I would feel alive by now
Twenty something years and I'm still so down.

When I touched his face, I could tell he was moving on
But it's not the fact that he kissed him yesterday
It's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shake.
 

While you keep doing the things that you do, shifting blame, and twisting truth
And making absolutely positively sure that everybody in the room is certain
That the victim just had to be you, well
I'll keep doing the things that I do
And I'll find someone who wants me like I wanted you
_{^{(The Cardboard Swords - Flannel )}}

So stay warm in that flannel
That I left on your bed.

I don't wanna be in-love. 
I don't appreciate you enough. 
 

I don't really know why I bother talking. 
I get talked over by everyone I care about. 
I barely have a voice. 
I'm a listener. 
I'm to quiet.
