I'Ll Still Be Here

Walk the halls as if you own them,
show off what we all know you have.
Be happy. You don't need me, your to good for me.
Show people that i'm just someone you dated. it's okay...I'll still be here.

Don't blame yourself for what I did.
Just act like I never existed, like I never hurt you, like we never dated.
Put the past behind you.
Your an amazing person, don't let people see your weaknesses.

You're strong, you're independent, you're...you. 
Just forget about me and put all the bad memories away.
But once you do that...don't fall for me, don't make the same mistake.
I know you can do it.

I believe in you.
Just erase me and the memories we shared. 
It's okay, because no matter what,
I'll still be here.
