about

When you love someone with borderline personality disorder, it can be a challenge. It's time to end the stigma about this highly misunderstood illness.

lyrics

I alternate between broken glass and eggshell
Carefully shifting my weight so I don’t break the spell
You’re a tornado, I used to be part of the din
I would do anything to avoid getting sucked in

I practice cutting the wires to diffuse the bomb
I can never exactly predict how it will go off
Once I had loved you, and possibly once you were mine
I’m tired of drama consuming so much of my time

I’ll never be tall enough to reach my own pedestal
I’ll never be true enough to be your best friend
I’ll never be able to tick every one of your boxes
You’re so hard to love, and I’m at my wit’s end

I simply can’t be the soulmate you think you are lacking
All your traditions are just too damn demanding
You’ll jump down my throat, accuse me of being too distant
And never forgive me if I forget any specifics

I know you just want to simmer in yesterday
While life goes on, people change, memories fade
You want to live in the good old days when we were young
you’ll be the only remainder when we’ve all moved on

Let me be my own whole person
Let me break your gravity
Let me live outside your orbit
Let me just be free

Yes, there were times we clung to each other while drowning
There were moments when we were divinely inspired
There were so many more filled with paranoia and worry
You’re so hard to love, and I’m so tired.
