She pushes them away
And before she couldn't figure out why
It was habit and nature
But she couldn't understand
Why the habit was established
In the first place
And she now realizes,
She doesn't want to hurt them
The way she's been hurt
She doesn't want to be the one
Who leaves
And leaves nothing behind
But broken hearts
And shattered minds
Because she's been on the receiving end
She knows what it's like
To have the people you're closest to
Just up and run
To bolt as far away as they can
And never look back
So she doesn't let them close
She pushes them away
Because she doesn't want
To be the source of so much pain
