makes you taller, then shrinks you, then splits you in half

i dont know why im still trying
hoping youll open up
and realize you were lying

to me and to yourself
realize you put the wrong person up
wondering if i can be found on the shelf

or maybe im used up
another comrade discarded
made myself too open
for someone whose so guarded

and i know what you want
although you havent told me
youve made it evident
to everywhere else your hearts been lent

but maybe im finding your side again
finally exposing who i really am
and i told you i understood
but thats not me

maybe i broke your heart again...
and maybe i get what you feel
like i showed you my heart
only so i could take it away
cause i just wanted you to know that its real

and though those weren't my intentions
i know youll doubt the truth
that im just a girl
with just some twisted way to get back at you

and though i havent exactly invited you into my heart
ive done more than i ever do
and ive tried harder
only for it to hit harder

and i hate that i want you
but i recognize you dont get a monopoly on people
and every promise made
was a lie under the steeple
