You told me that I have to stop seeing him in everyone who holds my hand and tells me that I can be someone in their life

You told me that I should let the Sun rise
You told me that there are bluer skies

You told me to stop looking at things like they never seem right
You told me to wipe the venom from my eyes

You told me to listen before I write it off as lies

You told me I won't get very far
if I run away from my heart

You told me that I will eventually meet someone along the way
Who will compel me to stay without much words to say

You told me I should stop waiting
Because he walked out the door
And he will never walk in again

You told me that I have to stop thinking that people are going to leave
just because he did

You told me that you love me
