I Am Better Off Alone

Why do I keep letting you in?.
When all you do is tell me beautiful lies. 
Sell me dreams that will never be. 
Make promises that you will never keep. 

I feel a pain that takes my breathe away. 
Tears that roll down my cheeks. 
Deep wounds and bleeding scars. 
You threw me away once again. 

Now I am lefted picking up the pieces. 
Rebuilding a broken heart. 
Hating you even more than I did. 
Laying in the cold darkness of night. 

The truth is I am better off alone. 
So I can heal and grow.
