I Just Found Out

I just found out from her your engaged.
Feeling so hollow,and not any rage.
I knew this would happen, it was a matter of time.
That you would leave me and this heart of mine.

You wanted a family that I could not give.
For you, being with me was no way to live.
I still feel sad even though I knew how this would be.
But I want you to be happy, even if its not with me.

I always seen it coming but I had hopped,
I guess I was wrong as I grabbed my coat.
Do you love her more than me?
Or do you want a child that badly?

I just got your invite in the mail.
Choking back tears but I failed.
I'll go to the wedding as a last goodbye.
I feel you deserve it, but I don't know why.

I'll make sure you don't remember our past.
I'll leave your life forever so that it will last.
The morning after the wedding day,
You just found out that I died today.
