Happier
You should've told me I wasn't good enough
You should've told me how much I bothered you
You should've told me to keep the fair distance
But instead,you welcomed me into your cold embrace
Making me blindly believe I'm all you've ever wanted
Wasting my time, wasting those long years
It's so sad I kept coming back
Thinking you're the one meant for me
Like a fool,I reassured myself
Wholely accepting that I must trust to be loved
You must've found that very entertaining
We all know to you,I was one big joke
Was it fun playing with me?
Was it even more fun cheating on me?
It hurts less now that I'm done forcing what doesn't exist
Truth is,I want you to be happy
And you sure as hell will be
I'm glad I've been made to dodge a bullet
But you'll never be happier with her
