The crushing pain of knowing you don't want me
The sinking of my heart beneath my chest
The tears pouring out like a tap
The confidence buried until rediscovered
Knowing you don't want me
Knowing you didn't like me
Knowing I loved you
Knowing I wasn't good enough
You loved him
You were with him all along
You weren't busy
You were just with him
Sneaking behind my back all the time
What happened to honesty?
Just tell me what was wrong
I could have fixed it
Knowing what you did was tough
Getting over you was tougher
I invested in you
It obviously wasn't worth the gamble
You lied to me
Fed me false information
Told me that I was different
You changed me
Now I want to hide
I don't want to see you
Anyway, I know you didn't want to see me
You left me
Was I not good enough?
What was wrong?
Why didn't you tell me?
How do you know him?
I hate you
But I still love you
Just leave me alone
I'll try and recover
