The song that I'm hearing
Doesn't sting as it used to
It doesn't hurt to hear
The lyrics of the pains I've been through
I'm no longer drowning in the tears
Shed by the lost
I've been waiting for years
But I no longer pay the cost
It's all behind me
The melody holds no sorrow anymore
I'm not afraid of what lies before me
I'm used to the aching chore
Which isn't an ache at last
It's all behind me
It's all in the past
I'm not the one who left
I'm not the one who gave me up
I'm not the one who faked everything
I was the one who wasn't loved
I was so afraid
I was so ashamed
To lose what I never even had
To lose what almost was
But never will be
Yet I'm no longer sad
There's no reason to be
You were never mine from the start
You only told me you were so you could steal my heart
It ended so abruptly I didn't understand
How could you leave when I was trying
How could you walk away when I still am
Or at least I was
I kept on trying
For a long time just because
I couldn't leave you even though I tried
But I no longer lay here
And silently cry
I no longer stay here
And wait patiently by your side
I'm not the one who left
I'm not the one who gave me up
I'm not the one who faked everything
I was the one who wasn't loved
I was so afraid
I was so ashamed
To lose what I never even had
To lose what almost was
But never will be
Yet I'm no longer sad
There's no reason to be
I was all yours
Yet you were and never will be mine
For a long time I couldn't accept this
I kept trying to deny
Someday you'll look back
And see what you left behind
I will never be yours again
So don't even try
Don't even try to come back
Never again will you be by my side
I'm not the one who left
I'm not the one who gave me up
I'm not the one who faked everything
I was the one who wasn't loved
I was so afraid
I was so ashamed
To lose what I never even had
To lose what almost was
But never will be
Yet I'm no longer sad
There's no reason to be
