How Much Can I Take

How much can I take After all you have done It's too much today I hope you had fun Just for a moment Think about me The pain, the worry Are too much for me I'm tired of waiting Of hoping you'll see I thought you would change And think about me Thinking of me Means that you cared All that we've done All that we've shared But I learned today I mean nothing to you If you cared about me You'd stop what you do But you cannot stop And I cannot take All of your lies After I wake I cannot deny I helped you some way By denying your faults I made it okay To let you go on And do what you do After nineteen years Perhaps I am through The most horrible thing The thoughts I now own By letting you go I really am done I don't want to be done Is the worst part When I let you go There goes my heart
