This much I know now
My heart's been crying forever.
It stopped, when
It
heard
your
heart
beating to the 
same rhythm.

My love for you feels like a failure
It's a killer
of an ache

Now with your spit still on her tongue
you'll come crawling back
But not today you won't

Today I am brand new
I am alive
I am free
& I am loved but not the poor excuse you call love

I'm surrounded by the love I deserve
Whenever my friends asks me if I got home safe
i know its love
Whenever my mom tells me to be safe
it's love
Whenever my sister asks me if I've slept these past weeks
i know its love

But you see here
Your love made me miserable
made me feel like a failure
and you know me,
failure means I didn't try hard enough

But as I start to think and open my eyes
I realize you are the failure
and didn't try hard enough

You were the mistake
not me

Months go by and the
seasons change, but the lust for
you remains the same.
