I see you from a distance

I want to say hi

I want to tell you I'm happy

Happy with who I am

Happy with who I love

Happy without you for the first time

I want to tell you I'm happy for you

And that I hope your just as happy

I know if I reach out I might poison what we've both built.
To her, you were once the whole world
Every day with you was a new adventure

To you, she was your hometown
The one you never left out of fear.
You're the only one who has ever tasted me

And I hope my juices
Have burned your insides.
You're the broken record
That won't stop playing
Even when I get it to stop
The song stays stuck in your head
That's you
Stuck

Trapped in my mind
Emerging subconsciously
When I'm most vulnerable
And all my shields are down.
You still haunt my every nightmare.
I woke up with a pit in my stomach. I'm engaged...but you still disturb my dreams.
Once upon a time
I fell in love with this man
And this man
Would break promises
Break my heart
But I was sure he was the one
I was blinded by love
I never saw the pain he caused
I loved him so completely
I believed I would never love again
Then one day
I met this other man
And this man
Truly kept his word
He was a dreamer
And no matter the day
Or how untrue it felt
He made sure he called me beautiful
So much so I'd believe him
And this man is the man I intend to spend my life with now
It is possible to love again.
Getting engaged in two weeks
I use to tell myself
You were so good looking
That I should be grateful You would even look at me
Nevermind love me
But these days I realize
I thought you were good looking
And maybe you are
But sweetheart
I'm beautiful in ways that my outer shell will never show
I was good enough for you
I was always good enough
We just weren't meant to be.
