Your Loss

In my mind,
I thought to be with you would make me happy
Without you,
I'm left in misery

I thought my world revolved around you
And it was you who kept a part of me
You,
Being my destiny

It was fate
That's what was in me
What let me fall
Love is where I fell

Crashing down
My arms wide open
Ready to take you in
And so I did

What happened?
Where did you go?

I opened myself up
Falling
Falling
Crashing down on Love

Thorns punctured me
Tore me up
Bruised what I gave you

So, what am I left with?
Good question.
The answer:
Half a heart
Half a soul
Half the happiness

Your thorns penetrated within me
Severed my heart
My love for you

Stupidity is ringing in my ear
Making it all clear
That it was never you
Inside,
It wasn't true
Your love for me

So now my heart is like a wound
Slow in time to heal
Waiting...
Waiting...

This pain will soon pass
I swear
I swear I won't let you get to me
Let you eat me up inside
Telling me lies
Breaking my heart at that final goodbye

Cause, you see
I'm the strong one
I'm gonna be the one pulling through
I'll restore my happiness
Regain my strength

And you're gonna look back at me
And think to yourself,
"Damn, I lost the best thing I ever had."

You lose.
Game Over.
