Love,
Why do you leave me when I need you the most?
I have been telling my own ghost
About how empty I've been ever since you left my side
Too many tears I've shed I can no longer cry

Love,
Why do you hurt me when I let you fill my heart?
Inside I've been broken and torn apart
Because of how lonely I've felt within
As all your lies help the darkness creep in

Love,
Why do you let me go when I beg you to stay?
Now that you're gone it seems that half my heart has blown away
The roses you gave me have started to die
Did you enjoy hammering that delicate heart of mine?

Love,
Why do you tell me you love me when I know that you don't?
Why do you still promise to fulfill your promises of not hurting me when I know that you won't?
Why do you use me when you don't need me since you've already won?
Why do you make me depend on you for light like the sun?

Love,
Are you trying to feel powerful because someone made you feel weak?
You stole my heart and now my lungs and I can hardly speak
Did you always want to hurt me, was it always your plan?
Do you miss my footprints in the sand?

Love,
Why do you come by every day and not leave until night?
Are you trying to make up for when you left my life?
Bringing more and more flowers won't make it right
How do you feel now that I am not in sight?

Love,
Why do you cry that you miss me so much?
Why didn't you appreciate me when you had my touch?
Are you empty inside from the lost beat in my heart?
Does the guilt and regret tear you apart?

Love,
Have you let go yet of how I will not come back?
When you heard the news did it give you a heart attack?
Did you want me for me or did you just use me for you?
Did you ever really think that Iā€™d love you, too?

Well it's too late now, Love,
Because I've already moved on
I'll leave it to you to realize what you did was wrong
Just as the miles were between us the ground beneath you does so
How does it feel now that this isn't the first time you've let me go?
