I want to feel sun again
I am tired of the pouring rain
I do not deserve to live my life like this
In the presence of this constant pain

I have given everything to you
Trust, mind, body, heart, and soul
Although you cannot see it
Inside me is a gaping hole

Never will I fall for anyone
As hard as I fell for you
You took the innocent part of me
That wasn't afraid to love and lose too

Can't you see how hard I am trying?
Look at the sacrifices I have made
You have given up nothing for me
That does not seem like a very fair trade

I am not the only one with flaws
And the way you are acting proves it
You said I was immature
I think you are a hypocrite

It sounds as if all you care about
Is what's best for you and your routine
Do you ever think of anyone?
Anyone besides yourself I mean

You know goodbye has not been easy for me
I am just trying to express how I feel
So sick of watching you be okay
And treating this like it is not a big deal

Ignoring me will not force me away
It just makes me confused and worn out
And I worry that I am wasting my time
On an "us" you care nothing about

I long to be appreciated
Want one person who will love me back
Not someone who cannot be with me
Unless I get my life on the right track

Something invisible keeps me here
I do not know why I cannot let go
I am in too deep to walk away
Loving you is harder than you know
Baby don't talk to me, I'm trying to let go,
Not loving you is harder than you know.
