Rid me of this bitterness
It's getting the best of me again
They try to help, but I protest
Thinking I can carry on
Trying to pretend

Rid me of this jealousy
It's hard enough to just let you be
I could not believe my eyes
But somehow I'm not surprised
That you weren't the one for me

Rid me of this aching heart
Everyday I fall apart
I'll just drown in my own pride
And set the love aside
So that it seems like I felt nothing at all

Wearing hate as a disguise
Truthfully hurting inside
I can forgive
But I will never forget
Letting you in, will remain my biggest regret

— The End —
