Your hand in mine
The world was much sweeter
Everything seemed to rhyme
Our hearts beat on a meter

Now I see all the lies
You’ve definitely left a mark
Your smile when I close my eyes
Burns bright in the dark

Our future was not a puzzle
We just didn’t fit
You began to wear an invisible muzzle
But then you lost it

The words you spoke stung
You said a lot, a bunch
The words weighed a ton
I guess I never meant that much

I was left to mourn
Tears poured down my shirt
My heart was torn
What you said hurt

All that in the past
I’m no longer ‘the one’
Boys like you don’t ever last
Now I’m bursting brighter than the sun
