I told myself I wouldn't,
I wouldn't be like you.

I told myself I couldn't,
I couldn't speak like you.

I told myself I shouldn't,
I shouldn't frown like you.

You left me bruised and damaged,
you left me all alone.
how could I forget.
never will you be to me.
It breaks my heart in two.
You missed out, on what could be.
I trusted you full heartedly.
How little did I know.
You never said I love you,
you never helped me through.
I wish you knew that I loved you.
who I am to you.
A girl you knew back then,
who really needed you.
I'm grown up no thanks to you.
I've decided way back then, not to be like you.
I smile now to everyone.
I lend a helping hand.
you'll be sad to know,
i've done it on my own.

I told myself I would,
I would be like me.

I told myself I could,
I could speak like me.

I told myself I should,
I  should smile like me.
