I've been through this before, You think I won't catch on. I pay attention, Its not that hard to see. One minute you give me the world, The next you hardly give me a glance. I make the effort, You used to do that too. You give me excuses, Now we hardly talk. I knew it was too easy, Too good to be true. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, And it did. I'm not going to beg, I deserve more than a read text. If you won't put in the effort, Then neither will I. I gave you chances, The benefit of the doubt. You showed your true colors, And their nothing but darks. I thought we clicked, Felt a spark as we talked. I opened up to you, Slowly but surely.. You even stopped No longer cared Now we're here. I thought we could have been more, But I deserve a better man. A man who makes the effort, And manages their time. I tried with you, I really did.... I don't care for liars, Despise dishonesty. You can lie to my face, But I knew you were a liar. There's nothing more to give, I doubt we'll talk again. Those sweet words, As empty as the air. Don't bother now, I started moving on from you. Tomorrow will be a new day, And a new possibility for love.

I've been through this before, You think I won't catch on. I pay attention, Its not that hard to see. One minute you give me the world, The next you hardly give me a glance.

Tomorrow will be a new day, And a new possibility for love.
