Parts of Me

A part of me hates what we've become
It's the part of me that wants to drown myself in rum
The part of me that is now numb

A part of me misses what we had
It's the part of me that wants to be sad
The part of me that can't give up on what we had

A part of me wants to stay mad
It's the part of me that wants to make you feel bad
The part of me that wants to lay someone on this mattress pad

A part of me wants to give it all up
It's the part of me that wants to delete our every close up
The part of me that wants to pour out our cup

A part of me wants to one day give you a good life
It's the part of me never wants to see you toil and strife
The part of me that would give you my life

Out of all the parts of me, the last is the one left to be.
The part that wants to show you off, dance with you everyday, and love you in every way.
The part that will give you back your high school prom, and make you participate in every photo bomb.
The part of me that will do anything to make you smile, even if I'm embarrassed for awhile.
The part of me that hurts when you are sad, and why I feel so bad.
The part that will give you away, as long as you are happy one day.
