I Don't Hate You (But I'm Trying)

I don't hate you But I'm trying The dust won't settle It clouds my peace of mind Scream and shout 'til We're both quiet Lose my voice and lose your nerve Don't trust the silence 'Cause you chewed me up And spit me out Your words are ashes In my mouth But I call You up Again I'll break But I Won't bend Claws are sharp and Teeth are violent But you're no tiger And I'm no lion Still you chew me up And spit me out The poison spills Right out your mouth But I call You up Again I'll break But I Won't bend I'm trying, love I'm trying, love Still you chewed me up And spit me out Your words are ashes In my mouth You pull me in with tooth and nail I fight back but I always fail 'Cause I call You up Again I'll break But I Won't bend If I fall And I give in Would you break My heart again I'm trying, love I'm trying, love I'm trying, love I'm trying, love
