No matter

And no matter how much I tried
How much I was willing to do
How much I sacrificed
It wasn't enough

I never was, was I?
No matter what I did
No matter how I changed
Or stayed true to myself
No matter the warnings
Or the promises

No matter your good intentions
Or me knowing the outcome
I was always the colateral damage
To the memories of someone else

The "I'll never forget you"
To people who never talked again
No matter how strong and tough I am
My tears won't stop rolling down my cheeks

No matter how clearly I know my worth
I just wanted to beg you to stay

You weren't willing to put me first
As I did with you

No matter that I gave my all
I am never the one
