After all was said
and done
they forgot about me
they forgot about my pain
my tears, my
broken dreams
my broken heart, my hurt

was it my strong exterior?, or
maybe they just
didn't care
they left me on the floor
bleeding, ready to end
my days

they forgot that I am a warrior
I healed my wound
and pain
little by little
I stood up and  
started to walk again

I learned to love me and
put myself first, is funny
how surprised they look
they know my
time is here

It was you, the one
who won my heart
the minute
I kissed your lips
and we couldn't
break apart
I took you
home with me
married you and
we started
our new life,
full of love
full of dreams and
endless nights

It was you, the one
with the white
picked fence
we built the home
we never had
that was life,
it felt amazing
for the first time
I felt loved
many years went by
full of love
then one dark day
life took
its shot and
our love cracked
everything was destroyed
what a painful time...

It was you, the one
one morning you left
you found
someone else
and destroyed
what we had
you broke my  
heart in pieces
I never thought you
could hurt me
this bad
that day I lost the
most beautiful dream
I ever had

It was you, the one
years went by,
we met again
What happened?,
Why are you crying?
life didn't go as planned
you are heartbroken
and sad 
I haven't found
real love
I haven't felt what
I felt for you
is weird how life works, but
here we are,
you and me
only God knows
the answer
was it you, the one?

you know how long I waited
for your lips to touch mine
now you here and
I feel weird inside
sadly to say, is not the same

there are not butterflies
my heart rate is normal
last night that amazing feeling
that we used to have, was gone

you look beautiful as always
but you are not her, by far
the woman I felt in love with
she will never come back

all I have are the memories      
they belong inside my heart
next to our broken dreams
please go, let my healing start

After a few years
you are back here
in our favorite spot
you look amazing but
also sad,
what happened?
no ring on your hand

Did his love run out
or you realized that
it was me, all this time
I feel happy,
but also sad

You destroyed my soul
and broke my heart
took my dreams with
you and left me,
for a better life

for me it wasn't easy
but I survived, it didn't
**** me ,but it
destroyed
the most beautiful part

I could never have
the same love or trust
with anyone else, now
I walk away from love  
to protect my heart

It was nice to see you
please don't come back
take your fake love, fake cry
I don't believe
a word you say
with time,
I will love again
but a love like mine
you will never find...

My mind is stuck
between what it was
what it is, and what
I want it to be

My heart is stuck
between the love
that left, the love
that is here, and the
love that he wants

My days go by
thinking about
the love that is not here
smiling to the one that
is here, dreaming
about the one that will
never come back

This daily conflict
between my
mind, my heart,
my reality is eating my
soul away, and I don't
know how to stop it

I don't know how to
live this life of loving
who is not here
holding hands with
who is here, but 
       wishing everything             was like yesterday...

All I wanted was for
you to be happy
all I saw, were your tears
and heart break

All I want it was to
give you a lovely home
all I saw, was sadness
and your wishes to run

all I want it was to
erase your pain
all I saw, was how
miserable you were

now after all
was said and done
I feel sad, hurt, broken
because, I gave you
my best but, my best
was never enough...

Who are you?
Why do you look like her?  
you are nothing like her
she is sweet and caring
and she loves to be with me
she dreams of a life together
with a big house and kids
you don't have her smile
her soft touch or tender kiss

Who are you?
Why do you look like her?
I don't understand, why?
are you taking her stuff
and walking away, why?
you can't be her, because
she wouldn't leave
she wouldn't hurt me
she wouldn't cause me
so much pain, or treat
me the way you do
she wouldn't break
my heart, crushed my dreams or leave me
here broken and alone
Who are you?
What have you done
with her?....
