Back Then I Cared To Much

I don't want to hurt you
the way you had hurt me
but I'm not as innocent
or sweet as I used to be.

Back then I cared to much
but today I could care less
because now I know who I am
without sorting through the mess.

You once promised me
that I would always and forever be your best friend
but you broke that promise long ago
when you called the shot to make it end.

Even though we made up
nothing has ever been the same
there is still this unspoken feeling
that melts in the rain.

I know you don't care either
because all you think of is yourself
what is best for you
rather then anyone else.

We're going in different directions
and I can feel it in my heart
but somehow I'm just to much of a coward
to split this friendship apart.

If you're wondering who I am
and the reason why I changed
I'll tell you plain and simple
that I'll never be the same.

I've made up my mind
and its just about that time
to start being my own kind of person
this time I ain't lieing.
