Maybe I don't know how to treat you like a king
Maybe sometimes I don't know how to feel so I say random things that come out wrong
it's like my lyrics no longer match up with my song
but maybe I know I love you
I know I am ready to step in even if I don't know the difference between a poem and a word because one causes rhythm while the other causes chaos
Maybe I feel like a failure because I have been loved and have loved in the wrong way for so long that the right standards are just too high
I know I am waiting for you to leave
I am waiting for the words to come out of your mouth that I am not good enough because I fear the truth after hearing it so... many.... times....
I know I love you but am I doing it right when all I can do is fear of doing it wrong
We are not royalty
I am not a maiden waiting to be rescued
I am a picture that was once put into the wrong size frame and bolted to the wall
The only way to fit me is to break the only glass barrier I have and risk ripping into my image
They say a picture is worth a thousand words but I can only repeat three that equal one truth
I love you
does it count if I say it one thousand times
can you take the battered part of me as treating you like a king when I don't know what love is supposed to be... I have been treating you wrong this whole time
You treat me as if I fit into your picture but push me away when the accent color changes
I just need to know
will you break the glass
maybe teach me how to love you right
Maybe we can grow to be right
