early enough - point of control



they told me to be careful with you - that you were something special - your heart was fragile & beautiful

i gave into you - let you into my broken heart

but they never warned you to be careful with me - figured i was the one who would hurt you - how could someone who's walls are as high as heaven and run deeper than hell be hurt

but you gave up on yourself - stopped being the man you told me you hoped to be - and so gave up on me - and believing i was someone worth treating worthwhile

months past - i never gave up - was still careful with you as my walls fell with my world

a woman's worth - something i learned very young - is nothing - to you i was nothing
