I Can'T Get It Back

I sacraficed so much
To be in your arms
And no you're allowing me
To step into harm.
You're tearing down the protective cover 
You yourself placed
And now, for believing you,
I feel like i'm a disgrace.
I trusted you so completely
And you turned your heart around
Just because I'm not there
Doesn't mean you can love every girl in town.
Don't think that you're getting away with this,
It's not a warning.
This is a promise, right now,
So stop what you're doing.
Listen to me and hear me out,
Because you know that you've done wrong
After two years of ups and downs, I thought you were the one.
"Third time's the charm,"
Most people say
But by the end of the first romance, 
It's all gone astray.
So don't think that this is a "mistake"
Because mistakes can be fixed.
This isn't something that small,
Because now, my insides are mixed.
Numbness, anger, and pain
Are what's mingling in my brain
When you always talked about yourself,
That should have been a clue that you were vain.
I can't believe that I trusted you
Because you had ruined me so many times
And yet, I gave you a second chance
To let you become mine.
You never gave me freedom,
Instead, spite and jealousy
Were what kept you here
What held you close to me.
I lost so much when I was with you
And now, I'm broken even more
I can't get the broken pieces back,
And I'm shattered now, for sure.
The trust I placed in you
Was not enough, it seems.
Just please, let me go now,
You've already ruined my dreams.
