Gone

Hearts hurting, whatever this is ain’t working, 
your pride’s always gunna come first and 
looks like I'm finally learning

Never once crossing your mind, 
my feelings hurting double time, 
you forget I can make plenty of others mine, 
too bad now you gotta wait in line

Always tellin myself I don’t deserve this, 
if you want me now you gotta earn it, 
no more pretending together we can fit, 
I’m done trying to deal with this

Don’t play dumb, you know you were wrong, 
acting like nothing was goin on, 
I’ve held onto this anger far too long. 
Now Ima throw the deuces, I’m gone.
