Just Stop

Just stop, everything you're doing everything you say
Just stop and go back to the beginning of that very first day
When all these rumours started, when you first thought you were right
Go back to that day and shine a bright light
Because everything you're saying, everything you do
Is a big lie, and the shame should be on you

Everyone you're telling, everything is wrong
They were never right and they will never belong
Everyone you've worried, all the comments i get
There all from you, and lies you've bundled in a net
Just stop it now, make it end
Do something else, help a friend
Just lay off, its harming me
You can't see it, but just let me be

I know you worry and i know you care
i love you for that, god i swear
But don't you understand that it's all a big lie
I feel like a trapped bid, please just let me fly
Just stop now, and go back to normal
When we were both happy and everything was joyful

I love you so much, you know i do
Just do this for me and I'll know you love me too
So let's stop all this nonsense and give me a hug
Let me feel warm let me feel snug
