All right here it goes let you tell you something about me
I am scared of the way you smile
Not because of you but because of me
I know that smiles lead to laughter and laughter leads to more
But soon after that you’ll make your way to the door
And say don’t let it hit you on the way out
As if anything could hit me harder than your words
As if anything could be worse then realizing what I lost
That the time and energy wasn’t just gone but wasted
Because lets be honest your words hit me like a truck
And apparently mine didn’t hit their mark
And now I'm sure your out there hitting Mark
Or john or that guy from down the road
But everything we had is gone and he doesn’t know
But what he doesn’t know wont hurt him
It cant hurt him because its hurting me
And one day maybe I can forgive you
But that day right now I cant quite see
Because I see you around and you look away
As if I’ve done something wrong
As if I didn’t give you my heart and ask only one thing of you
Here is my heart just please don’t break it
Because the pieces she left took years to replace
And the replacements don’t seem to fit quite right
And we don’t seem to fit quite right
So I guess when you said we should stop you were quite right
Here I am again though but the pieces are bigger
And I am easier to put back together
Because you had less of me than she ever did
And your smile didn’t make me melt
What it did do was remind of a time when I trusted someone
And now your smile reminds me of a time when I trusted you
And now I trust that you will never find someone like me
I am not even sure if that’s a bad thing
But I'm sure that its something and that my something is greater than yours
I know math says putting one and one together will make one greater
But one never made 1 cry
What I do know is 2 plus one is three and three is too many
