The Truth

You're not the guy for me,
You broke my heart in two;
I wonder why I didn’t see,
I’m not the girl for you;

And I guess that it was in my head,
All the things I thought I saw;
Cause you finally said those words I dread,
And it’s something you can’t withdraw;

And the last thing that I want to hear,
Is “We can still be friends”;
Did you think my feelings would disappear,
Because you want it to end;

I cried myself to sleep last night,
From the heartbreak that you give;
I’m sure that I will be alright,
And someday I might forgive;

For now I’ll just keep my head down,
And go on living my life;
Maybe I will paint the town,
To deal with all my strife;

I know that eventually I will move on,
And I’ll forget all about you;
But right now I want your memory gone,
So I can stop feeling so blue!

~This goes out to my sister, she just had her heart broken for doing the right thing~
