Part of Me
How could I be so blinded
I thought that that was you
To think I was so gullible
I should have really knew
Now I wish I’d played it safe
Not wore it on my sleeve
Cause I’m the one who’s left alone
Every time you leave
I always saw the good in you
I never saw the signs
And every word you said to me
I fell for all your lines
And even though you’re not the first
I’m sure you’re not the last
I clearly didn’t mean that much
You disappear so fast
I don’t know what it is with you
You saved me from the fall
I never had to keep my guard
You got over the wall
I only think back to the times
When you would make me smile
Forget the nights I’d cry for you
I guess I’m in denial
But now I’m feeling such a fool
Was always on your side
I gave you everything I had
To you I would confide
I never thought it’d be this hard
To get you out my head
You promised me you’d never leave
But now you’ve walked instead
I knew this from the start of it
That this would come one day
I try to brush off all the times
You’d push me far away
I can’t help think would it have changed
If we’d ever met
I guess that’s just another hope
One day I will forget
Cause now I’ll give you what you want
Our road has been quite tough
I don’t know how to keep you here
When I’m not enough
And even though I’ll leave you be
I just wish you could know
You’ll always be a part of me
Even once you go.
