Feb 2022 breakup downer melancholy reflective
An imagined song, thankfully
I cut myself open for you
And asked if you you wanted to look
I cried myself sober for you
If only that was all that it took
Desperation is never appealing
Neediness just turned you away
Actions can be so revealing
There has to be another way
I left myself defenceless for you
I asked you if you’d thought it through
I said I’d wait a lifetime for us
But all I got was disdain and distrust
I cut myself open for you
Look what you made me do
I stayed awake to wait for your call
To find you’d left me with nothing at all
I cut myself for you
Something I’d never do
I cut myself for you…

yes, let's just say the cutting was figurative.

The vocal sounds really needy, similar to the theme of the song, which is great.
