The pain wasn't from you walking away
The pain came from me choosing to stay
The pain wasn't from you pushing me away when you began to get bored
It was from me holding on, as I spoke silent prayers begging our Lorde
The aching pain in my chest wasn't from the lies you continuously told
It was from the knife that you still hold
I'll admit, the most pain you caused was from the words you never said
All I ever wanted was for you to choose me in the end
I knew it would be you who broke us apart
Because, I loved you deeply, even if it wasn't me who fell in love from the start
The ache in my chest still rattles only for my tortured ears to hear
And now my heart, can't trust another, since you ignited all these new fears
From the very beginning I could see our end
I just thought my optimism and love could be the stitches that would mend
But there were to many words left unsaid
I just thought there would be a better story, before you put us to bed
