I didn't think this would happen

You said it'd be different

I believed you

You promised me you wouldn't leave,

You said the first time you had made a mistake.

And though I know why you left,

It's still killing me inside.

I thought I was the cure, not the cause.

Now I know I'm the disease

You can't get rid of me, not fully.

But I will set you free.

This way, you aren't stuck missing me.

My heart is still whole, my smile as well.

But look deeper inside,

Then you'll see I'm not swell.

The reason I'm writing tonight,

Is because of the tears I'm trying to fight.

4AM, my body arose

Dreaming that you just may be close.

4AM, that's how I know it broke.
