It's hard to breathe
And weird to touch
I was acting so normal
And I was thinking too much
Trying hard
To figure out
Moving onward
Engulfed in doubt
Don't look back
Too much pain
And in fact
Nothing to gain
Filled with knots
Wasted time
I got a penny for my thoughts
When I deserved a dime
Who's to say what's true
I never said I was right
Guess I never knew
It's not worth the fight
Thinking about before
Don't know who I was
Could have closed the door
And never been an "us"
Said you would stay
Promised you could
Chose to walk away
I knew you would
Everything was fine
Said we'd never part
Knew it was a line
But gave you my heart
I'll take the blame
I've always known
I played your game
You lost alone
I know you know
There's more to give
You were a stepping stone
I have a life to live
Hard to love
Weird to trust
Acting typical
Think it was lust
You told me to be strong,
Then you left
