My expression changes
And the conversation turns sour
When your name is mentioned
Everything gets awkward

People talk of lessons learned
And things they’d never take back
But I know I’d get rid of you
Without a second thought

A pointless second heartache
Not even my first love
I was moving on with life
The moment you showed up

Regaining all my strength
I built up enough trust
To place in your hands
The beating sign of love

The night you told the truth
I felt my soul go numb
No tears in front of you
But I did shed them all

In the corner of a room
Cradled in my best friend’s arms
Curled in a fetal position
Choking on my bleeding heart

No, I don’t want to remember
The way any of this started
None of your eternal promises
Or the things I thought once mattered

If I got a second chance
To life live a different way
I’d go back and take from you
Every single thing I gave
