i hate that i'm saying this
but today has been
one of the painful ones.

i wish that i could go back in time
and change ever meeting you,
because i could save myself
from all of this pain that you've caused me,
save the tears i wasted on you.

i would be my happy self,
the girl who felt empowered,
fearless, strong, independent,
and all together full of life.

now i fake a smile,
i pretend to be the girl who i once was
but i will never see her again,
she's sad all the time and
she deserves an Emmy for best actress
because her heart is crying
but her face shows no trace of sadness.

before i met you and fell for you,
i wasn't always happy but
life was something i could at least tolerate,
now it's something i hate and
i don't want to put this on you
but thanks to you
i find joy in nothing anymore.

all the dreams i ever had,
you crushed them,
all the trust i had,
you made me lose it,
all the love i had in me,
you stole all of it.

you're ruining the one chance you had,
to take a different road,
to change your life for the better
but you took the road you always take
because it's familiar and all you
have ever known.

i wish that i had never met you,
i wish i had never loved you...
but i always will.
