The pain so real, the sting so sharp
I shouldn’t let you break my heart
You said you loved me, what a lie
Those countless nights you made me cry
You’d call me a liar, tell me to leave
Should never have left my heart on my sleeve
I almost gave you my trust, and all my soul
Never should have relinquished all my control
Your kiss and your touch were too good to be true
I should never have wasted those tears on you

I’d been through this before, thought that I’d learned
Turns out I’m destined to be the one who is burned
I begged you to listen, to give this a chance
Your paranoia took place of any hope for romance
I need to erase you from all of my dreams
And not keep on feeling so stuck in between
You were reality and fantasy collided into one
Being with you was like a walk in the sun
Now the sparks are smothered, the flame is long gone
I should have known that this would turn out so wrong

These last seven nights, I’ve spent all alone
Wondering if you were also sitting at home
But none of it mattered; it was all just a joke
I should have seen you were a dream made of smoke
I need to feel freedom, to forget all this stress
But each time I think of you, I turn into a mess
I know I’ll survive, there’s other fish in the sea
Should have known from the start, you weren’t right for me
All those interrupted sleepless nights, now seem unreal
Turns out you were nothing, except wasted tears
