The Truth Hurts

It took me destroying you for me to start caring,

It took me almost dying to start sharing,

It took us almost losing everything in the world that meant anything,

For both of us to start understanding that fate is easily tempted to tip in the other direction.

 

I can't believe some of the stupid s**t that we have done,

Nor do I regret any of those moments I spent with you,

I didn't lose you and you didn't love me,

I just wish that we could have seen that sooner so the burn wouldn't hurt so much.

 

My heart is still trying to comprehend why I let you in,

My mind is still scarred with your way of speaking that it hurts to use your words,

The way you walked and the way you held yourself is still imprisoned behind my eyelids,

Waiting to burst out of my head and kill the next not so innocent person in my path.

 

I really did care and I hope you still do,

But the pain and sorrow you left in the dirt road still makes me sob,

I could never be back together with you but secretly I wish things would rewind,

So that I could be taken back to a happier time in my life when nothing went wrong...
