Throw It Away

Throw away years worth of memories that be both shared
You've made it very clear by now, that you never really cared
I'll sit here and dry the tears that you caused me to shed
Please take the time to erase the day we first met
Fade away the not-so-nice things that we both said
Replace the bad times, with the good ones instead
Throw away the first time I said,"I Love You"
And I'll forget that you uttered those words back too
Wash away the pent up anger from feeling betrayed
Don't sit there, act dumb, and wonder why I didn't stay
Remember all the hugs and the times we kissed?
The guy that I once knew, is the one that I miss
The guy who, in the beginning, always made me smile
Who, when I got scared, would hold me for awhile
That guy is long gone and far away
The guy you once were is who I'll think of each day
Foolish, I thought our love would be forever eternally
But, like a good soap opera, we ended in tragedy
I got tired of being abused by you
I stopped giving in, so you initially got tired of me too.
I've never forgiven you for those days
If broken hearts cost, then you sure made me pay.
No one knew exactly how I felt
Dealing with the cards that I was dealt
Maybe not now, but soon, you'll realize what we had
Maybe in the future, I'll stop feeling so sad
Weight is bearing off my shoulders with each passing day
As I relive a piece of my past, and throw it away.
