What You Forgot to Mention

You think you got
The best of me,
Don't you? You think
I'm sat on the
Bathroom floor crying
My eyes out over
Our disappoited love again,
Don't you?

Yeah, you broke my
Heart an left me
In the dark again
But at least you
Didn't break my spirit
This time, your words
Cut deep but I'm
Starting to ignore the
Sharp pain in my chest
Every time you lie

I'm used to being
Used and abused by
You and your toxic
Behvior, I'm used to
Loving you in doses
I'm used to the
Pain of not feeling
Your unconditional love
I'm fine, I promise

But I want to know
how are you mama?
Is your heart breaking
Just as much as mine,
Or do you really
Not care about my
Feelings? Cause I'm just
Fine with that

At least that's what
I tell myself to
Hide from the pain
I'm feeling inside, what
Can I say? I
Learned from the best

You taught me that
Crying is a sign
Of weakness, you taught
Me to never ask
For help because no
One will be there
To help pick up the
Broken pieces of your
Shattered heart, you
Taught me what it
Means to stand on
Your own, but what
You forgot to mention

It's lonely and terrifying
Standing all alone with
No one to guide
You home when you
Find yourself lost in
The dark, what you
Forgot to teach me
Was how to stay
When things got good

What you forgot to
Mention is how amazing
It feels when the
Right guy gets down
On one knee and asks
You to be his
Forever, did you forget
What that felt like?
Or maybe after four
Marriages, you still haven't
Found the perfect guy?

You know, the guy who
Makes you laugh when
All you want to do
Is cry because someone
Knocked you on your
Ass and broke your
Heart for the 500th
Time? The guy who
Knows what you're thinking
Without having to say
Anything? Did you ever
Find that guy? Because
I have and screw
Up daily because I
Don't know how to
Love someone that stays,
Stays long enough to
Learn every piece of
You

You forgot to show
Me a love like
That, you forgot to
Mention that guys like
That exsist in this
Mad world, if I
Knew that, then maybe
I wouldn't have had
My heart broken so
Many times before I
Met the one

Maybe I wouldn't have
Fallen in love so
Young just to have
It taken away in
The worst way possible

If I would've known
That can tear you
Down and rip you
Apart, then maybe I
Would've been more prepared
When I lost him
Maybe I wouldn't have
Spent years suppressing the
Pain I felt, maybe
I would've mourned in
The right way

You think that I
Hate you for all
The things you put
Me through as a
Kid, a kid that
Had to put away
Childihsh things a litte
Too early so you
Could chase the high
Of self-medicating, I
May have resented you
Once upon a time

Truth be told, I
Don't hate you for
The way my life
Turned out I ended
Up just fine, I'm
Fine I swear, you
Just forgot to mention
That it's okay to
Break and it's okay
To not be strong
All the damn time

You forgot to mention
That I am beautiful,
And smart, and despite
All of the cruialty
I faced, I am kind
I will be okay
WIthout you in my
Life mama, because
I forogt to mention

That choosing ME is
The. Hardest. Thing.
But I would rather
Chose myself then continue
To let you bring
Me down, so I'm
Mentioning that this
Is goodye Mama

And I'm just fine
With that because I
Forgot to metion that

You don't get me
At my best, you don't
Get the satisfaction of
Seeing me sitting on
My bathroom floor crying
Over MY disappointed
Love, you don't get
To break my spirit

I forgot to mention
That you don't get
ME, I get me
