Pictures Are Only As Good As the Eyes That See Them

There was a time I loved you so
Then you left me at such a low
Now I’m so broken inside
And I can’t hide this any more

When I’m near you
I know you don’t care
When I see you
You just look away

Now I’m crying inside
And with every word comes a tear
And I’m praying to God
To make me feel better than this

I painted you perfect in my mind
But I’m starting to see your faults with time
I did everything to make you mine
But I ended up not being worth your time

You’ve left me with questions
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
I thought you were gonna stay 
Now I’m left here wondering
Where I’m gonna go from here
