You
You took that knife and cut me
You took those words and hurt me
You took my heart and shattered me
Do you know how deep you cut me
Do you know how much you hurt me
Do you know how profuse you shattered me
You made me believe you cared
You made me think I was different
You made me feel like I was special
But you didn't care
I wasn't different
And I will never be special
At least to you
But now I know
Cuts will heal
Hurt will stop
And all that was shattered can be repaired
And I realize
Maybe I don't want to be cared for by you
Maybe I don't want to be different to you
Maybe I don't want to feel special when I'm with you
I am cared for by many other people
I am different from everyone else
I am special to at least one person
And I deserve better
I deserve someone who will hold my hand
And my heart
I deserve someone who will acknowledge my presence
And embrace it
I deserve someone who will talk to me
And tell the truth
I deserve someone who will be there
When I need them most
I deserve someone who I love
And someone who loves me back
I deserve someone superior to you
I thought nothing could get worse
I thought my world was over
I thought I would never be okay again
But things get worse and things get better
But my world does go on
And I'm going to be okay
I'm going to be okay
