The Extent of My Pain

You've ended my reign
With every piece of my heart you've cut
With every bit of taste
You taste my pain

Soaking in this abandonment,
I loathe you
But even worse, I love you

Now you know the extent of my pain
And everyday I wake up with aches
Leaking from my heart
But still I stand up

Knowing how much beauty in this world
I know I'll get over this heartache

Loving you was never a mistake
A mistake I made correctly
So don't worry because I'm moving on
