You never meant to leave like this you say
I keep my head up and try to look brave
I tried all possible to pull you back
Our off and ons ran that chance off the track
Told me it wasn't the same but what does that mean
I'm not needed anymore
Don't require me next to you to turn her face green
All that I was used for
Not the first story of it's kind

You never held my face
Always made me feel guilty
Every time and place
Your eyes looked at me empty
What we could be was never a reality
Took a chance, I took five
You threw me out into the dark so easily
Not the first story of it's kind

You spoke "I love you" to keep me around
Your selfish motive to upset your town
Their eyes burned holes the second they saw me
You let them generously
Did me wrong to ignite a rapid fire
Every word planned for your gain
Anything to awaken her desire
Despite causing my pain
Not the first story of it's kind

You never held my face
Always made me feel guilty
Every time and place
Your eyes looked at me empty
What we could be was never a reality
Took a chance, I took five
You threw me out into the dark so easily
Not the first story of it's kind

Can't be your pick and choose
Won't be your drama magnet
Had all you had to lose
Threw it out, never grabbed it

You'll see one day we could have had it all
Regret will take the place of what you never saw
You'll look me up and I'll have a life that glows
Damaged girl, you'd never know
I'll thank you one day for the will of moving forward
You'll wish you'd treated me right
To my heart you were it's temporary owner
Bonded but failed to survive
Not the first story of it's kind

You never held my face
Always made me feel guilty
Every time and place
Your eyes looked at me empty
What we could be was never a reality
Took a chance, I took five
You threw me out into the dark so easily
Not the first story of it's kind
You're all what I hope not to find
