You promised that you loved me,
You promised that we'd never part,
But look at me now,
Crying in bed with a broken heart.

I loved you more then anything,
I opened up to you,
More than I did anyone else,
And I let you know what I was going through.

We would talk all night,
And our love for each other we would exclaim,
But now all we talk about,
Is who's to blame.

But I guess that meant nothing to you,
Because you still ripped my heart out,
Thinking of you won't do me any good,
Because it'll just make me shout.

My heart hurts more than you'll ever know,
For your love for me was never true,
So I guess all that's left to do,
Is to get over you.

You said you loved me,
Baby I thought it was true,
But the second things got hard,
I questioned what I thought I knew.

You said don't worry,
You said don't cry,
We had a connection,
No one could deny.

You told me lies straight to my face,
You promised you'd stop drinking,
But inside I knew,
It was just wishful thinking.

How could you treat me like this,
After all we went through?
The day we break up,
You go find another girl to *****!

You may have played with my head,
You may have stolen my heart,
But one thing's for sure,
You will never make me fall apart.

I must thank you,
For all that you've done,
You showed me something important,
Which is not to trust anyone.

My life is better without you,
And now I can clearly see,
I had been falling for someone,
Who had no intention of catching me.
Thats the thing about love
everything they say is true
every cliché, every stupid quote seems accurate

The butterflies, when your lips meet for the first time
the shiver down your spine, when you look deep into his eyes
the happiness, the joy he brings you, him being your reason to get up in the morning
it's all true

But, so are all of the bad things
so is the feeling of being shattered into a million pieces when he breaks your heart
so are the sleepless nights, when all you do is cry
and so is the insane longing
the unbearable desire to have him next to you
to feel his lips on yours
and to look deep into his eyes once again

Burning all of the pages
I've written about you
would be equivalent
to setting a forest on fire.
Except I couldn't do that.
What a waste of paper,
what a waste of trees,
that I planted and grew,
watered them with my tears,
watched them flourish
with the many colors of you
glistening on all of the leaves.
The only thing you've written about me
was my name on the back
of a scratch piece of paper
crumpled up and forgotten
and you didn't even finish the sentence.
Just a little tree sapling.
Well, you can burn that
with a flame torch
for all I care.

I looked around and saw
nobody
I closed my eyes and saw
you

Spider web lashes
Trampoline lips, make me fall
I always bounce back

Your soul is like your fingers
Such calloused hands
How rough you are
How abrasive you can be
Doesn't measure up
To the toughness of your heart
I admire your resiliency
My only wish is that
You would soften up to me
Know it's okay to get cuts and scratches
And even to show off your scars
Show me your sensitive underbelly
Trust me enough to fall asleep next to me
Like how animals sleep tummy side up
When they feel safe
Shed your hard layers
Feel my gentle interior
Know that it will always be
Okay.
