You came into my life like a blazing meteor,
Plowing through my skies, all warmth and fire;
You lit up the darkness that was my yesterday,
Shattering my walls, I'd thought you planned to stay.
But you left my orbit just as swiftly as you arrived,
a fleeting specter in the night, cunning & contrived
that left me broken to behold & hollow inside.
I should loathe you for abandoning me, but I cannot.
I should tell my heart to love you no more, but I can't stop.
I cling to what we were and how we used to be
that I can't seem to see how much you've damaged me.
Because I loved you, but you just threw it all away -- easy.
And everyday I ask myself if you had ever found me worthy
or if it had all been just a game to you, to love then leave me.

You came into my life like a blazing meteor,
Plowing through my skies, all warmth and fire;
You lit up the darkness that was my yesterday,
Shattering my walls, I'd thought you planned to stay.
But you left my orbit just as swiftly as you arrived,
a fleeting specter in the night, cunning & contrived
that left me broken to behold & hollow inside.
I should loathe you for abandoning me, but I cannot.
I should tell my heart to love you no more, but I can't stop.
I cling to what we were and how we used to be
that I can't seem to see how much you've damaged me.
Because I loved you, but you just threw it all away -- easy.
And everyday I ask myself if you had ever found me worthy
or if it had all been just a game to you, to love then leave me.
