Why Didn'T You
Brittney Tyler
The mind blowing devastation sets in
It's the subtle feeling of inadequacy
Mixed with the feelings of anger and betrayal.
Why didn't you love me?
I turn over every detail of us in my head
Questioning every decision I made
Wondering what I did to push you away.
Why didn't you love me?
All the notes and gestures of caring
The cooking and smiling and laughing
None of it was enough, none was good enough.
Why didn't you love me?
I can't figure out what I did so wrong
Why couldn't I just be enough for you
What about me is so lacking and unfulfilling.
Why didn't you love me?
And all I want to do is wallow in my darkness
To forget about all of this and not feel
My whole everything is torn and hurts beyond compare.
Why didn't you love me?
You moved on so quickly and effortlessly
Smiling with no care in the world
Living life with no regrets.
Why didn't you love me?
I'm sitting here faking a smile
Pretending not to care or to hurt
But inside my soul is crushed and dying.
Why didn't you love me?
So I will keep a smile on my face
Pulling myself out of the devastation and into the sun
And forgetting about you and the pain that you caused.
Because I deserve someone who will love me.
