A rose for the brokenhearted

Gave you my heart and hoped you could save it, Always giving bits and pieces of myself to someone who doesn't care, and it ain't fair.
Always expecting the most
From someone who isn't there.
But that's life, and I know
It takes more than once to get it right.
At the moment, it feels like I'm losing this fight.
Empty promises are all I ever got from you,
Thinking of what I could do to get that love back from you.
But let's face it, I should've known from the beginning you faked it.
I wish you never would've looked my way s**t, got me out here feeling basic.
But it was really you that ain't s**t. So I'm giving a rose to the brokenhearted Because my dearly beloved has departed.
To all those who know my pain,
I hope it never comes again,
'Cause we're better off in the end.
Your heart is not meant to be broken,
But opened for the love you deserve, and they'll show it.
Never should you have to question that love,
Because you'll know it.
And I pray you hold onto it,
And don't walk out before they prove it.

Odyssey

Tell me where I'm supposed to be if not with you, Everyone leaves, that's nothing new.
I wonder if she does all the things i would've done for you.
Any and everything to make you smile, My only wish is you'd stayed for a while.
I'm a hopeless romantic, but these days all i feel is hopeless.
I took my heart out my chest and told you to hold this,
Thinking that you knew best.
I don't know why it is that you get to hold a place in my heart, but I never had a place in yours.
I'm tired of the lies you told me, they're just words, No action behind them that  s**t for the birds.
But that's not why I hurt.
You played a part that wasn't yours,
You told me you were here, and that's the only place you weren't.
You told me thanks for the good days,
Picked up my heart and left like it was yours.
Empty, might as well be—
You had some way of bringing the best parts out of me.
Now I'm on this odyssey, tryna figure out what love could be.
Honestly, I'm clueless, really not the type to do this, Not because I'm scared of love, but because I love so easily.
But I can't let you see these things get to me,
'Cause I've cried some rivers, but they flow so peacefully.
Keep telling myself I'm okay cause I have to be.
Wish I could turn the tables, and you were the one chasing after me, But naturally, I'm still waiting on you like this has to be.

Good intentions

Boundaries, you say we should keep 'em.
I've always been the type of person
To try to get my point across without reason.
I’d be lying if I said I deny my own selfish desires.
Good intentions for you were all I had, But all it ever wound up as was bad.
Yea, I'm a little selfish,
Thinking I  could take your heart and help it.
But ultimately, it wasn't you, it was me, Thinking if I can save you, that'll save me.
But now I know that can't be,
I've got some growing up to do at the very least.
It never involved you, and sadly,
I can't change the past, but I can see the lesson in it And try to grow from that.
Everyone has bumps in the road, But I kinda hit mine early.
And I'm not saying that's an excuse, I'm just tryna get through some things.
And if only I tell you,
Then maybe we could work through things.
But I hold it all inside,
And it comes pouring out my eyes like the rain.
Just really wish I knew how to deal with this pain.
But then my lips touch that bottle, And I feel like me again.
It's getting kinda dangerous,
Feeling so oblivious.
What a special kind of bliss, Waking up like, "What'd I miss?" Just to see me doing some stupid .
Then I'm back at it again,
Kinda got a feeling I know how this story ends.
But I'm tryna change, and I’ll do all I can Through life to keep my head up.
And I feel a change is coming, And it's only for the better.

Unrequited

I wonder if I'm ever on your mind;
I think about it from time to time.
I wanted to be one of those girls you were head over heels for,
'Cause how you make me feel is hard to ignore,
 And I wish we could be so much more,
But I know we'd never work because in this situation,
I'm the only one being hurt.
And i know that's not your intention, But what can I do?
I've already fallen head over heels for you.
I wish that wasn't the case;
Your touch and smile, I'm trying my hardest to replace.
But all I think of is your face,
Wondering why it's always me that ends up in this place.
I don't wanna complicate things, But I know I already have.
'Cause I can't live with you or without you,
And it's driving me mad.
I want your friendship and your love, But you can only afford to give me one.
Is this worth the friendship I'm giving up?
I know it's not, but I just can't stop these thoughts.
And when I turn them off, it's no better.
I'm tryna hang onto you like my favorite sweater,
And I know I gotta let you go, But that's the hardest part.
'Cause you're the one who has my heart, But all I'm doing is tearing us apart.
Self-sabotage is the only way to make things clear.
Sometimes I wonder, why am I even here?
Why did it have to be you?
And I can't take it,
Knowing someone else is making you smile.
I know it's selfish, but I can't help it.
You see, my pride gets the best of me, and I stop seeing things so clearly.
I don't wanna hurt you,
But I guess I'm just projecting.
The pain of your rejection hits me like a wave time and time again,
But To gladly drown just for a piece of you.

The things we love

I want you to be happy, so how could I be mad at that?
I’m wishing you the happiness me and you could’ve had.
And I’d give you my heart a million times again,
Even knowing this is the way it ends.

It’s a shame we can’t change the past,
’Cause now I’m thinking of all the ways I would’ve made it last.
I’d take your hands into mine and tell you I really love your laugh,
And that I love you for all that you are and all that you’re not.

Not a day goes by when you’re not in my thoughts,
But I guess it’s a little too late for that.
The sad truth about letting the things you love go Is sometimes they don’t come back.
