Insanity

XOLizaKateXO's picture

I need to push you away
To keep from going insane
Every time you’re near
I become vain

I know you don’t understand
Exactly what I’m going through
And you feel like I don’t
Want anything to do with you

But I want you to know
That my heart is in pain
And I push you away
To keep myself sane

It’s hard for me to get near
And be your best friend
Because my broken heart
Will not seem to mend

In my wildest dreams
You kiss me in the rain
But I push you away
So I won’t go insane
