There are ink stains on my paper thin confidence
Left behind by the pen (pain) of your rejection,
Had an ego that flew high above cumulus clouds but now it's soaked in rain,
Your words oh how they watered me down,
Guess it was really sweet of you to say that it wasn't me it was you,
But I hope you know that your sugar coating does not make it hurt any less,
You can't paint a wreakage and hope that will somehow make it look beautiful,
So save your needle and thread excuses because you can not stitch together a heart made out of the type of fabric that you tore,
Ya I get it you can't force someone to love you,
But at least tell me why I wasn't enough for you,
Because there were no hoops the steady thumping in my chest wouldn't have jumped through to try and make you happy,
Pharrell freaking Williams couldn't have constructed a melody that would half decribe how I was willing to make you feel,
I thought you and I had something real,
Until you pieced me with your lethal injection,
I still feel the toxins of your rejection creeping in my veins,
My hands still shake from the weight of all the false promises you gave to me,
Who knew memories could feel so heavy,
And my fingers... they still tell ghost stories about you,
While nested around what little remains of the camp fire of the future I once thought I have with you,
You said I'm too good for you,
What the hell does that even mean?
You say you love him but then you keep running back to me,
Calling me at odd hours of the night telling me how you miss me,
And honestly I'm sick of explaining to moon why I constantly pick up your calls,
Even though I know that you always... always somehow find a way to slip heart break through the wireless signals,
Now the vibrations of my phone are starting to feel a lot like warning signals,
And you have a way of making warnings sound like wedding vows,
I'm tired of listening to your broken wedding vows,
Because you rejected mine,
So please...
If you care about me at all...
Just let me be...
Let me be..
