It doesn't matter
When I met you
I knew it was gonna last forever
Whether it was mutual
Or not
I was fire
And you were the house
I burned in you

At the end of the day
I can write a million times
How much happier I am without you
How terribly you treated me
Or how many new lovers I have who are better than you

But I'll miss you
In the quiet
When I'm alone
I'll always miss you
Despite the truth that we are not meant to be together

When she walked by
They all stopped to whisper
"Didn't you hear? She's insane now"

But they always failed to mention
The boy that drove her there
