Severing/Tying

I’m standing here, tongue bitten off (I thought you were just kissing me)
Choking on my blood trying to talk (I’m making a mess of myself)
I thought I was getting somewhere (I was running in place after all)
I was running in place after all

Don’t you dare pity me
For what you made me become
I won’t be a sorry excuse
For someone you once loved
Don’t you dare pity me

Only time will tell me what I want (and what I will hate myself for)
And give me the strength to say my thoughts (like you never deserved my trust)
Like I’m tired of severing the bad parts just to tie myself to some more

Don’t you dare pity me
For what you made me into
I’m so much more than a reaction
To the awful things you do
Don’t you dare pity me
