The Other Girl

She couldn't have stomached half of what I had to 
Her tears couldn't fill up an ocean 
Has his love ever even made her feel this broken? 
She doesn't know half this heart ache
This ache causes me not to feel alive
I bet that girl doesn't know what it's like to feel dead inside
He tells me he doesn't love her but I know he does 
Sometimes I wish I could have us back to what it was
I'll love him more than she ever will 
It's amazing it has been 3 years and I still get that same thrill
She's the lucky one
She's the one
She gives him a feeling I cannot
It gives me a stomach knot
I am distraught 
He sees a beauty in her that he doesn't see in me 
Sometimes it's her I wish I could be
It gives me an anxious feeling
my heart skips beats
my heart drops 
my heart stops 
She doesn't know the abuse he's done to my mind 
It is him in every guy I try to find
First love is the sweetest 
First cut is the deepest
The song didn't lie 
It's time to stop asking myself why
It's time for it to burn, it's time for it to die
