Who do you think you are?

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Jar of Hearts

Focus

Its weird. New ways of looking at everything keep coming to me.
I've always believed that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes my faith in that fades for a while, but I always come back to it.

All my life I have always been a giver. More concerned with being there for the people I cared about than doing the best for myself. In so many ways I held myself back, still holding myself back. Ive always spent my time and effort on other people, and then sit and wonder why things are so shitty for me. Not to blame anyone but myself here, I chose to focus my energy where I did. But it isn't healthy, and I realize that now.

I have lost alot of people that I cared deeply for in the last few years. I find myself feeling so alone. I've always hated being alone, ever since I was little. Hell, I don't even like waiting in line or going shopping by myself. So this is very hard for me to come to terms with, and I've been trying to come up with reasons this can be a positive thing.

I can't focus on understanding myself, or developing a happy life, if I'm pouring everything I can into others. What if everyone is gone so that now I have nothing to do but focus on me. To understand me and work on fixing the parts that need fixing. Focusing on what actually makes ME happy in life, and maybe I'll actually go to school, or get a job doing what I love. As shitty as it is to be alone, I think I needed it.

It hurts

It hurts to know that I'm having such a horrible time, while you're out having such a great one.
It hurts to know that this isn't affecting you in a negative way at all. You are so happy and care free.
Its always the same way though.

Losing you huts me more than anything else in my life has.
And you losing me, makes you feel better.

I spent the day packing up my shit, sorting through 4 years aquired shit between the both of us.
While you spent the day livin it up with a woman, in another city, overnight.
All my shit was packed and I sat here waiting for you to come home and help me get it all into storage.
But you never showed up. You chose to do other stuff instead.

It just hurts that I matter so little to you now.

Numb

I feel like a ghost in my own life.
Time flies, and then it creeps. I feel like everything's normal, then when I think back, every day blends together. Every conversation is a flash, every memory a blur.

I keep telling myself that I have to push on. Find something that makes you happy, figure out what I want to do with my life. Its really hard, and I know I have never really understood what hard truly is, when it comes to a work ethic anyways. I have never lived my life strictly for myself, I have always been a giver. But in the last two years, I have been projected into a completely different life. One by one every significant thing that was a part of my life is gone, except my job. I'm trying to realign myself, but all I feel like I'm doing is blocking all the bad shit out in some blur. I'm not dealing with anything, or really even accepting it. But I have to move on.

I don't want to feel numb, but I do.
