Deep in my heart
I’ll always love the person he used to be
But we’ll never see each other again
Not if I can help it

He disappointed me, left me alone
Because of him I don’t rely on people
That way I can never be let down

Our family was a game to him
But he changed the rules
He was supposed to love me
But he put his hands
On the ones he swore he loved

There’s so much pain trapped in my heart
So instead of releasing it
I alienate myself, always in a corner
Ideas swirling through my head
With tears streaming down my cheeks

If he would’ve put the bottle down
He would’ve had my love
The best thing he does is deny
And he can’t take back
What we never had

His heart is empty of emotion, weightless
But it’s heavy in his chest
And his selfish hands
Always expecting more from me
But he drained me of self-importance

Every word was like a dagger
Soaring towards my heart
My heart will never heal all the way
I guess I ran out of band aids
You can bandage the damage
But you never really can fix my heart

It will always have holes
From where he carved them
A permanent addition to my heart
His stamp, forever engraved

Even though I’ll never forget him
His presence doesn’t hold me back anymore
I hope he knows that he lost, he’s all alone now

One day when my name
Is up in lights and
He’s stuck in the same old rut
He’ll say to himself
“I wish I would’ve stuck around
To see her blossom.”
