Go ahead
Break my heart

Take me piece by piece
Tear me apart

Really go on
I won't even blink
That's about the amount of time it took you not to think

Not to think when your lips were on hers
Not to think to tell me sooner
Not to think about how I might hurt

Tell me what you thought
Tell me that you didn't want me
Tell me that you didn't love me
Not really
At least cut me off completely

But how dare you
How dare you say you love me
How dare you say you want me there
How dare you kiss another and then assume that we're all good
How dare you accept my anger
How dare you be kind

How dare you let me love you.
How dare you leave me behind.
How dare you realize what you've done
How dare you feel guilty.

For once, live unapologetically
Break my heart
Break it a million times over
But in those moments let me hurt and hurt well
In those moments let me grieve what once was
But how dare you break my heart
And then try to hold me
How dare you hurt me
And then coming running right back

Most of all, how dare you make me cry over your mistakes.
How dare you make me think this was all my fault.
How dare you let the great darkness that is my mind take over with "you really weren't good enough"
How dare you.
How dare I still love you.
