You left me here to swallow the tears
And gulp down the rising lump in my throat
The repeating words of breakup songs drumming in my ears
Why do you get to be the one who leaves this unscathed
When I put so much into you and I
You're off having fun and I look at every couple here and think of you
How do I even know if I cross your mind
The endless cacophony of sad hurt words
This isn't working for me anymore
When you leave it hurts
Then I think I can be okay
But that's when you sneak right back into my mind and break another piece of me
So I listen to songs telling me that when I don't think I can make it through I'll get over you
Or that if you just leave I can deal with the mess you left for me
But I don't really want you to leave
I can tell myself it'd be easier without you
But being the clumsy girl I am, I fall right back into your arms
And it's not a big deal!
Because I'm so young!
And there will be other guys!
That's not my fear though
My fear is there's no other you
No one to treat me like you did
To kiss me like you did
But of course now you don't kiss me and treat me like you used to
And now there's no one to
