sitting here staring at a picture of you
i realize ive made a mistake
this emptiness inside is killing me
i gave everything
even what was sacred
i thought id be able to make you stay
but oh, was i wrong
i shouldnt of let you take it
i shouldve just waited for that special someone
but being young and naive
i was desperate
you knew all the right words to say
you became a pro at playing with my heart
and pulling its strings
treating me as if i meant everything but nothing
all at the same time
you played me like the fool that i was
but now i realize that im better than you
i deserve better than you
so i know to stay hidden behind my walls
and wait for someone who really care
its amazing that i learned so much, just from
sitting here staring at a picture of you
