I'm Glad I Didn't Break Your Heart

I'm glad I didn't break your heart  
The way you tore mine clean apart.  
I could've lied, I could've played,  
But I just watched you drift away.  

I stayed up nights with hollow dreams,  
While you stitched lies in silent seams.  
You walked away without a care,  
And left me drowning in the air.  

I held my ground, I kept it true,  
But I still bled because of you.  
You gave me scars you couldn’t see,  
But I’m glad I didn’t make you bleed.  

I could’ve crushed you, could’ve won,  
But chose to be the better one.  
Now I’m a ghost in my own skin,  
Wishing I had hurt you back then.
