Love That Never Grew
The worst feeling is being lonely in a room full of people
Only feeling love and happiness under that church steeple
Going home and not feeling like that’s where you belong
Wondering what you did, and where things went wrong
You are becoming angrier as time passes by
Watching the way, you loved me slowly start to die
You promised me many things and those very quickly ended
Our vows where a joke to you like you only just pretended
You always said you loved me but that is not what love is
I always put my needs and feelings always after his
I was made to give up so many things I never wanted too
My thoughts and dreams never mattered it was only ever about you
It made you feel good trying to blame your behavior on me
The truth finally came out and it wasn’t hard to see
You watched me bend then break, and you never cared
You left me at my lowest point, I was in the dark and scared
You were supposed to grab my hand and help pull me out
I stayed there all alone, yourself is who you cared about
My heart over time became so lonely and so cold
My thoughts and feelings became secrets that always stayed untold
You got mad that I could not let go of your behavior in the past
But the present is the same movie along with the same cast
I had hoped one day this would all end, that you would finally change
Now I know that’s not the case so it’s time to rearrange
Letting you go, I know it is going to hurt to my core
But there is nothing no longer worth staying for
I will pick up the pieces and continue my life forward
Happiness is the goal I will fight going towards
I really wanted to spend the rest of my life with you
But this is the end of our love that never grew
