Could it have been more than this A jumble of lies and broken promises Finding no comfort in each other's lives Searing words used to cut our barely formed ties Every secret shared, twisted and contorted to match the world created in your make believe land False words spilled on the battlefield where you wanted to make your final stand Your voice which was once a source for my delight Now weaponized for your continued slights Gone are the days I long to be where you are We were never close, but still not too far Years of regret cling to me like wet sand on a filthy beach Wasted hours on someone who I could not reach Fatigue had finally set into my weary heart I want you know how much I thrive now that we are apart I don't care who you have become or what you do I can live a healthier life without you

Without
Could it have been more than this A jumble of lies and broken promises Finding no comfort in each other's lives Searing words used to cut our barely formed ties Every secret shared, twisted and contorted to match the world created in your make believe land False words spilled on the battlefield where you wanted to make your final stand Your voice which was once a source for my delight Now weaponized for your continued slights Gone are the days I long to be where you are We were never close, but still not too far Years of regret cling to me like wet sand on a filthy beach Wasted hours on someone who I could not reach Fatigue had finally set into my weary heart I want you know how much I thrive now that we are apart I don't care who you have become or what you do I can live a healthier life without you
