Compliment
Paper Flowers
You said that I was good at hiding my feelings
And when I smiled you said it wasn’t a compliment
Can we try it again, from the very start?
I wondered how much worse it could get
I was holding out for a kinder heart
It’s a choice I didn’t regret
You said that I was good at hiding my feelings
And when I smiled you said it wasn’t a compliment
I’ve never been too good at dealing
With confrontation
But I said what I really meant
And we’ll never talk again
I said the winter months had me down again
You said: What did you expect?
That time you told me you wanted more
Was about the time I left
So it goes
Every time I’ve hurt myself
Was a result of having hurt
Somebody else
So it goes
Every time I’ve hurt myself
Was a result of having hurt
Somebody else
You said that I was good at hiding my feelings
And when I smiled, you said it wasn’t a compliment
You said if I’m depressed, you don’t wanna see me
I never smiled, could you see the significance?
Are you finally hearing this?
