This is why we can't have nice things.

They say love heals all your scars,
Do they check on you when love falls apart,
I needed reassurance that he'll come back. Will it be the same, will it fill my heart crack?

I remember the days when we couldn't be apart for very long.
Now I am left all alone.
I spend my nights wide awake,
feeling like a forgotten favorite song.

We promised it was a forever thing,
Now I recall and laugh at your jokes from last spring.
Was I not enough for you? or was it something else?
The time is finally healing my heart swells.

I opened my heart to him,
But it wasn't enough, it seems;
It's the way that my scar still stings,
This is why we can't have nice things.
