Do you remember, when I showed up at you door?
And I told you that “I wanted more”…
You looked me in the eye…
And told me that you couldn’t lie…
You said you found someone new,
That this isn’t how I wanted to tell you.

I’ve told twice before, before I showed up at your door.
That I loved you, more than I wanted to.
You said we’d give it a try, but baby, now you’ve told a lie.
This isn’t how I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t know how to reach you.
My phone keeps saying that the calls and the texts won’t go through.
Because of what she’s done to you…

I just came to say I love you.
You told me you didn’t want me to.
Let me tell you, that’s worse than “I hate you”,
When you said, “you didn’t want me.”
But it’s a fact, it’s not a phase…
That I love you more and more each day.
I tried to hide it, to fight it, to give up on you.
But clearly, that didn’t work.
Otherwise I wouldn’t be hurt.
Or at least not that bad.
But you said you didn’t want that.

I don’t know what to tell you.
You’ve broken the last straw.
I saw you with her.
And realized, I don’t have closure.
You never told me goodbye.
And every time I cry,
I still remember those golden eyes,
Feeding me lies.

You told me I had a chance, that wouldn’t last.
But here we are, it’s been years.
She is still here.
And I’m still haunted by her.
Because I didn’t get closure.

I just wanted to tell you I loved you.
That you were everything that I wanted.
Somehow we ended up here, fighting about you two.
Now you’re gone and I’m haunted.
But it’s fine because you have her.
And I’ve finally got…
Closure
