I can’t let you
Continue to hurt me

I can’t continue
To let myself hurt you

I can’t be this person
That keeps coming back

I can’t keep being
Weak when I
Need to be strong

I can’t stop you
From being who you are
But I can stop
Being who I’m not

I can’t seem to remember
When things got this way
Was it from the beginning
Or was there some
Sign I missed one day

I can’t
As much as I want to
I can’t
