Echoes of a Shattered Connection

To Love You is To Get Hurt

I will never find another person like you again,
Not even in you, you aren't the same.
What happened to you from back then?
Is it because of the writer's name?

I feel so weak when I think about future, and I don't see you next to me in it.
My heart wants what you were,
It doesn't want a hypocrite.

There was a time when I thought,
I would know you forever.
I couldn't doubt the bond we got,
Turns out we were never destined to last ever.

I miss you, even though, I was never close to you to begin with.
Never expected to become a weeping willow. I was sure it was only a myth.

Was hurting me easier than apologising?

I remember you more emphasizing.
I gave you my heart,
And you let it dissolve.
I watched it fall apart,
Trying to not leave this unresolved.

Of course I was upset, I would have never done that to you.
I think I won't even be able to forget, the things you made me go through.

You did exactly what you knew I was scared of,
And made me think you were the right person to love.
You made me want to never love again.
How could you mess with my brain?

The night my heart finally dropped,
Because I realised you were gone,
You suddenly got swapped,
Leaving me to cry until dawn.
What happened to the soul you used to be?

You promised you wouldn't hurt me.
They were right, promises are just the sweetest lies,
Just like your eyes.
I didn't deserve that,
And you know that, too.

For you, I was only a doormat, I didn't even have a clue.
I explained my pain to you,
For you to only hurt me, too.
I was the one to notice your fragility,
I wouldn't let you get hurt.
And still, you left me with hostility,
When I thought we were made from the same dirt.
How did you forget about me so quickly?
When all I did was love you so thickly?

But no matter what, I will love you in every lifetime,
I just can't understand why it couldn't work out this time.
I miss you more than I can remember you,
Deep down, I know I will always do.

The silence feels louder than it's ever been, my ears are bleeding.
Your love was misleading.
Our time was limited,
I would do anything to go back to the start.
But my love for you will be forever unlimited,
No matter if we are together or apart.
