Smash my heart
I smash yours
Break trust
I break yours too
Used up every ounce of my strength
I am the one using you

Nothing to you
Pieces far scattered
Hurt with words and the wounds open up
Ways I pushed you away run through my mind
The space you left feels as bare as an empty cup

Those photographs taken together
Others snapped by friends we know
Add up to over a hundred
Five years is awfully hard to let go

Hold your head straight
Not tilted down
Keep focused
Push through the pain
Freedom is only a week of hell away from you
Do you find pleasure in the problem?
Comfort in the chain?

Back when I was your girl
Eyes blinded by your charm
I allowed you to lie for so long
So hopelessly in love with you
My heart convinced you could do no wrong

I think it is safe to say
That although you broke my heart first
I left yours broken after
Between both of our misfortunate souls
You had it the worst
Trying something different
