I can scrub you from my mind
And erase you from my heart
I can delete you from my phone
And keep your name out of sight

But I can't leave us behind
Because you tore me apart
So when I lay in bed alone
I think of us holding on tight

The memories are kind
Bittersweet from the start
But they're in the past and I'm on my own
Trying, praying, I will be alright

Being real, you're a mastermind
Deception is your work of art
And every time you come and atone
I want to give up the fight
Please stop trying to come back. I'm tired of feeling the pain.

No more crying alone in my bed
I'm getting you out of my head
No more tears will be shed over you
I will be happy and bid you adieu

There's no reason for me to cry
Because when you said goodbye
You lost the only one who cared for you
Losing me was the worst thing to do
No Tears Left To Cry

Black asphalt and deep ditches
Invasive dreams of your kisses
Sleet and tears mix on the ground
This time last year you stuck around
But now you’ve left, without a trace
Memories without a face

I look up at his face
while standing by his side
my heart starts to race
and my smile grows wide

I wrap my hand in his
and stand on my tip toes
I wonder what this says
I question if he knows

To his kiss, my lips rise
and one forms from two
As I look him in the eyes
I say "I'm in love with you"

Dig your claws in my back
Treat me like I'm just a snack
Not a person, just a use
"drunk" is not an excuse
Whenever I speak up and make some noise
The only response is "boys will be boys"
Spilling all the tea with this one
