This is a reminder that you weren't the only victim.
I may have a bad habit of opening doors too early
But my dear, you close them too soon and maybe that’s why days can’t go by without wondering what I did
Wondering if maybe I could have stopped all this but
You left me for her
You left me for a girl that was never really yours
And now in every sunrise and set I see the truth
That opportunities are like a sunrise
But you didn't wait too long, I did.
I knew you didn't want only I
But I didn't care because that’s what you meant to me then.
You had a spark within you that I wanted to light and catch
So maybe I could be a fire too
Leaving destruction in every kiss
But a glowing warmth that just made me want to be close, but not too close
For you were an explosion
You ignited our love then let it detonate it without remorse.
This is a reminder that I didn't throw away what we had
For someone else.
This is a reminder that you’re not the only one who was left feeling worthless.
This is a reminder that you were not the victim.
