If

If I could explain your words

if i could explain my heart break

i would

with all the words in the world i would try

I would try to tell people why

why you couldnt love me

why you wouldn't see me eye to eye

yet i dont know the answer to my heart break

tell me

i would love to know

you werent mean or terrible

you didnt lie cheat or steal

no

you just said

i could never see you being my girl

I was everything adorable

everything sweet and girly

so much that you couldnt believe your eyes

im wonderful, beautiful, you wanted me to meet your mom

but then

suddenly

i wasnt the prize you wanted

you could never see me marrying you

never see me loving and caring for you

who told you such lies

its okay, no really its happened before

my heart has been broken

ive heard it all these words before

I did nothing wrong you said

how is that

such confusing terms you had

im so lost in that

my drunken mind spins now

i hope you are happy now

you think that everything will be perfect

well you had something great!

i would have been there no matter what

taken care of you

and played with you

and been your best friend

but you didnt want that

no one seems to want that from me

its okay

you see

im used to it

im over it

i know no one will ever love me

im sorry to wallow in self pity

this isnt the first time my heart has broken in two

though i didnt think it would be because of you

we got along so well

no problems were dealt

yet you made them up in your head

saying it would never be me

thanks for the heart break

just so you know

giving back a whole heart

isnt that easy without dropping it once or twice

making sure it shatters on the floor

you may not have ment it

you may not have wanted to break it

but you did

more slowly

more painfully than the violent bullies from before

thank you

for showing me that love will never find me

that love will never be in my cards

i wish things were different

i wish it didnt hurt but i does

and the worst part is

you still hope to be friends
