I tried my best not to lie,
So I didn't tell you
That I loved the two of you together
That I saw how you clicked

It gave me joy to see you smile like that.
It gave me peace knowing that I wasn't hurting you
like I was before,
That there was someone else...
Who could wear that dull ache away.
I was glad.
I am happy.
But I won't lie.
I'm afraid she'll hurt you.
And I know it's hypocritical.
Because I was her.
