I Just Made You Up to Hurt Myself

I’m becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away—well, you might say I’m losing focus
Kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I can see right through myself

Less concerned about fitting into the world—your world, that is
Because it doesn’t really matter anymore
No it doesn’t really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore

Yes, I am alone, but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell, I think maybe it’s because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself

And it worked
Yes, it did

There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me

Only

The tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it was something bad
I couldn’t leave it alone—picking at the scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut, but I climbed through

Now I’m somewhere I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I know I really shouldn’t see
And now I know why
And now I know why
Things aren’t as pretty on the inside

There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me

Only
