Everything But You

Someone breaks your heart, and you finally realize that they were the worst and you are the best.

I never wanted anything but you.

That’s my only regret

Because when you left

And I looked back on my life

I realized that with you, I accomplished nothing.

You dumbed me down

Kept me small

Kept me from reaching my full potential

And I’ll forgive you for everything else

But never for that.

No, I’ll never forgive you for that.

I could have been great.

I’m great now, I’m realizing who I am

But I could have done it so.much.sooner.

If it wasn’t for you.

Because of you

I cried more tears than I ever had before.

You fucked up my life

Because I never wanted anything but you.

 

Now, I see the error of my ways.

Now, I understand who I am

I understand who I’m becoming

And I must thank you

Because if it weren’t for you

If it weren’t for your (pick one:) 

lying/cheating/bitching/arguing/ego/stubbornness/pretention/mere existence

I never would have seen

How much

Better

I am than you

And than others like you.

I see now that I’m amazing

And you were the worst all along.

I never wanted anything but you

And now I want everything but you.

I hope this didn't seem too rant-y and pointless.
