Be Free

My heart was crying out
And blood has poured over
I've invested so much in us
And now I'm the wounded soldier
I am over it all and I'm no longer trying
Now you are alone and the only one crying 
I've decided hearts divided was the best recommendation
My best choice was for me to be my own representation
I realized that you realized, I was the only one for you
But it was too late 
Your heart had already denied the truth
I tried and tried 
But now my happiness beared the proof
We had no way to know what the future held
But it was no longer holding us together
Instead we were separate birds with two different sets of feathers
Not even the same breed anymore 
So your love is no longer what I needed to soar
No codependency 
You are you and I am me
You always wanted to be free
And now you have been freed.
