Lets Make a Deal

You forgive me for liking you too much, and I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.
You forgive me for missing you so, and I'll forgive you for being so cold.
You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart, and I'll forgive you for not hearing it.
 You forgive me for playing your games, and I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.
 You forgive me for finding you so attractive, and I'll forgive you for not noticing.
You forgive me for raising you up so high,  I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.
You forgive me for wanting to be with you, and I'll forgive you for avoiding me.
You forgive me for being so pathetic, and I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.
You forgive me for not being able to let go, I'll forgive you for never having latched on.
You forgive me for having hopes and dreams, and I'll forgive you for crushing them.
 Forgiveness brings inner peace. Do we have a deal?

You are on Mistake

If you want to love me, you're making a mistake
I�ve been hurt too much, by love proved later fake
I've cried too many tears to let you make me cry again
I�ve locked my broken heart so tight, to keep the hurt all in.
And keep you on the outside thinking you'd never find a way
To get through all the locks, intended locked to stay.
I hoped you'd never ask so you'd never have to know
How much it hurts to love you knowing I�ll have to let you go.
And then just start all over...Reapplying every chain
Crying every tear again feeling all the usual pain.
Knowing it was all my fault and I�d have to take blame for
Watching my heart fall apart and not be fixable anymore.
Just go find someone better, not so hurt and not so scared
Find someone who'll give you a fair chance with a heart that's still all there.
I�m so afraid you'll change your mind, break my heart again, and leave...
I�ll take down my guard for once. Just don�t hurt me please.
