When you told me it was over I still had hope I had no idea that it was the end of something that just got started When you told me it was over I felt my stomach cave in I felt a sword slide through my chest When you told me it was over I cried I collapsed as I read a text message where you said why It took months to recover from your electronic words Finally today I have erased you from my life No longer do I hold onto the words that you have said How you loved my eyes and that we should lay together in bed You said that you felt warm, calm and safe when you were in my arms So why did you ever leave them and go out into the scary world Why did you go and hurt me just because you were hurting Yes put yourself first, but there are nicer ways to say goodbye Cold glances from across a room of silence was all I got But today I burned the house you build in my head I tore it to shreds You took how good I was to you for granted Buying you random gifts and opening the car door Just know you might never find someone like me again Someone who would only ever support you and hold your hand All I wanted to ever do was hold your ******* hand Was it that hard to believe that someone could love you Was it hard because you are so broken I was the glue, but you didn’t know that I was strong enough to hold you together All I ever wanted was for you to open up And all you ever did was shut me down and close me up Out of order Out of service When I got very sick you weren’t there When you were upset I was always there You claim to be so caring, but it’s all in your head You don’t know the first thing about love and what a shame I said If you did you would have noticed the scars on my arms And the bruises all over my body You would have seen how my smile fades so quick And heard all the fake laughs All you cared about was yourself So thank you for leaving me I hope you get better soon I hope you learn to treat your next girlfriend with love and respect

Closure of a Closed Door
When you told me it was over I still had hope I had no idea that it was the end of something that just got started When you told me it was over I felt my stomach cave in I felt a sword slide through my chest When you told me it was over I cried I collapsed as I read a text message where you said why It took months to recover from your electronic words Finally today I have erased you from my life No longer do I hold onto the words that you have said How you loved my eyes and that we should lay together in bed You said that you felt warm, calm and safe when you were in my arms So why did you ever leave them and go out into the scary world Why did you go and hurt me just because you were hurting Yes put yourself first, but there are nicer ways to say goodbye Cold glances from across a room of silence was all I got But today I burned the house you build in my head I tore it to shreds You took how good I was to you for granted Buying you random gifts and opening the car door Just know you might never find someone like me again Someone who would only ever support you and hold your hand All I wanted to ever do was hold your ******* hand Was it that hard to believe that someone could love you Was it hard because you are so broken I was the glue, but you didn’t know that I was strong enough to hold you together All I ever wanted was for you to open up And all you ever did was shut me down and close me up Out of order Out of service When I got very sick you weren’t there When you were upset I was always there You claim to be so caring, but it’s all in your head You don’t know the first thing about love and what a shame I said If you did you would have noticed the scars on my arms And the bruises all over my body You would have seen how my smile fades so quick And heard all the fake laughs All you cared about was yourself So thank you for leaving me I hope you get better soon I hope you learn to treat your next girlfriend with love and respect
