"Ups" and "downs" is an understament
I find myself looking back on that day a lot
It was the turning point in our relationship I’d say
The big sinking feeling when you’ve reached the top of a rollercoaster and you’re preparing yourself to go down
We had reached the top of our rollercoaster
I knew it
I was lying alone in that bed
My hair a mess
My eyes overflowing
I tried to keep quiet
But my sobs were loud and painful
I wanted you to hold me
I wanted you to calm me down
Tell me that it was okay
That’s all I needed
I needed your reassurance
But instead you gave me anger
You were angry that I was crying
You were angry that I kept things bottled up
You were frustrated
I know
But you gave me nothing but harsh words
When all I needed was a hug
A sign of affection
That’s all
That’s when I needed you the most
That’s when I could tell I’d lost you
You could no longer sympathize with a wreck like me
You could no longer put up with me and my mess of a mind
I get it
And I don’t blame you
We’ve reached the end of this wild ride
You got off a long time ago
Yet I still stay
I know you’re not coming back
But if you did
I’d do it all over again
Because I’m still hopelessly in love with you
And this rollercoaster we call “us”
