You Think You Broke My Heart

You think you broke my heart When you said goodbye You did me a favor Breaking my heart liberated me to see That love is not a jail To which we are sentenced That real love never wants to hold prisoners That it sets us free to come and go as we please That day you nailed my soul to an imaginary wall The day you told me that I was not the right woman for you Was the day you set me free You see there is nothing as horrible as faked affection Faked affection is worse than abuse I love you for it My heart was truer than the ground was moist And you lost that true heart And I thought I was the loser But I won back my soul And learned that letting go.. even if it kills me, is better than hanging onto a lie You set me free My love never left you But please don’t talk to me to save your feelings Love me enough to let me suffer Love me enough to hurt me and let me go baby.
