"I'm happy that you're doing better now."
You send to me in the middle of the night.
I thought I moved past you, got myself right.
I'm here asleep beside another man,
Where once you belonged.  
But I felt all those feelings again, now joined by the anger at how I was wronged.

Now my heart is afraid and crudely wrapped in barbed wire. Your cowardice killed both my passion and fire.

Was I just something exotic for you to conquer? To taste?
A body to add to your collection, time to waste?

Why did you pursue me so adamantly just to turn away?
Why did you act like you cared just to leave one day?

You don't love me how I loved you.
I was just a pretty face to view.
You ignored all the parts of me that weren't any fun.
I was just a beautiful body to be done.
I listened to you and sought out your soul.
You just wanted only pieces of me, not the whole.

Why did I believe it when you said you wouldn't play with my heart?
Cause now you message me your bare minimum words and they tear me apart.

When I finally start to feel better, finding my groove. You dig in your claws, you make your move.

To see if I am still yours, but I'll never reveal.
I won't respond, I don't know if I will ever truly heal.

You don't give a **** about me-
You just want to ease your guilt.
You don't follow me online but yet still check to see.
If there's still a fire for you in the heart I rebuilt.
Is it to feed your ego? What for?
Testing the waters, looking for an open door?

Someone else is in your place,
But I can't forget you, I can't erase.
Every memory and the smile on your face.

All the words you said and the plans we made. The promises you spoke but you let fade.

I hate that I miss you every single day.
I still wake up before the sun rises.
For the good mornings you no longer say.
This unfinished melody always doomed to reprises.
My brain wants you to just go away.
Yet my heart it clings and idolizes.  

I deserve better- what you said then was true.
If this is how you truly are then, better certainly isn't you.
A man who would awaken my love and then turn and run.
Is no man to me, he's just somebody's son.
A boy, not a man, worthy of my love.
Acting as if you can rise above.
You stole it from me and said I gave it for free.
Telling me to keep the memory.  

Like it was something to treasure and something precious to hold. I gave you warmth, but you turned so cold.

I should destroy every trace of you, block your number too.

Some part of me doesn't want to let go.
Cause it would be the end and I'll finally know.

The truth of what I was to you, maybe I already knew?
You were all I ever wanted but I was nothing. Absolutely nothing to you...
