In one simple, selfish moment
I wanted what was best for myself.
But I threw it away into oblivion
Believing the words that I knew to be lies
And trusting in all the wrong things.
I put my heart on the line and watched in shatter
But still I put myself back out there
Knowing I will be broken again.
For just one second, I saw the truth
And realized how wrong I’ve been all along.
The pain those words brought me
As unexpected as it was
Will never fade away as long as I see his face.
But I will continue to hold his hand
And look into his eyes, clouded by my tears.
Letting go is not an option anymore.
I gave away my heart and soul
And held on too tightly, got too wrapped up.
Lost myself in the existence I believed to be perfect
Which turned around and caused me the most pain.
Before this all began I clearly stated my purpose
My reasons and secrets laid out in front of me.
I brought it on myself, and if I choose to believe it
I broke my own heart.
I trusted myself to someone who never understood
And I fooled my heart into believing
It wouldn’t be broken.
I pieced myself together just so he could break me.
I let myself fall into his embrace
Letting him drop me further than I had ever fallen.
In one simple, selfish moment
He took away from me all I had to hold.
