i thought i knew heartbreak
but boy, you proved me wrong

you took everything in me
i gave my all to you
and all of a sudden
you were done

i wonder what went wrong
was it someone else?
did i make a mistake?
or did you finally wake up and realize i wasn't enough?

that i could never be enough
for you
or anyone else

i'm scrolling through my phone
trying to find a number to call

i get to the bottom of the list when i realize
i have no one

there is no one left in my life
who cares about me

i have no friends
i only
had
you

so who do you turn to
when the last person who "loved" you
left

who do you turn to
when you have to write love in the past tense
when you still feel it in the present

please don't leave
please change your mind
please call back
please don't fall out of love with me

please.
