Who said it was ever gonna be easy?
everyone I meet keeps taking with them a piece of me,
and now I have too little left,
so I buried that part of me deep inside,
locked it away and tossed the key aside.
You came home yesterday and I threw you out
told you it's over and myself that I'm gonna move on
you put up a fight,
cutting those stiches again that I'd hardly sealed,
I finally learned that
it's easier to burn than it is to heal.
So I let myself be scarred,
you burned me till
I was nothing but ash,
and I stood there
watching those shadows come back hiding under my bed
...and now you're gone,
but your perfume still lingers,
on my pillow,
I can feel your fingers touching my skin
but you're not here
and it feels like I'm drowning above water.
"It'll be okay" I tell myself as I tremble,
my body craves your touch and
my heart aches to feel your love.
It still doesn't understand that
it wasn't what it believed it was,
...stupid little thing got me in so much trouble.
You were just a twisted illusion of love
and we were never real,
but sometime the glass had to break,
and I'm glad that it was my wail who broke it,
I hope you're happy, that you're free,
I feel pity for you
It's sad how you live feeding off of others pain.
You have nothing of yours,
nothing real to who you are
not even your own misery
what a pitiful irony.
I had to let you go and heal me,
I had to lose you to love me.
