You're the thing I love to remember, and the thing I hate to forget
I know that I'll always love you, but let me just say
I can no longer love you in your kind of way
This is the problem between you and me
Your version of love was tattooed for all to see
The scars that you can't see were the hardest to heal
They were the rawest, most painful, all too real
Loving you was the most beautiful form of self destruction
You got to tear me down, now I'm doing the reconstruction
I wish I wasn't the girl who loved you after every cheating and every beating
Our moments in ecstasy are all now but fleeting
I believe that we are both slightly damaged, and damaged people know it well
That every evil devil was once an angel who fell
I'm done with the fighting
I'm sick and tired of crying
You got to be the lightning and I was just a tree
Your hands were the fire that burned the best parts of me
I accept the damage
I now know how to manage
I'm not a broken hearted girl
