I saw you.
i saw you walking with her, and you were smiling.
i couldn't hear what you were saying
but i'm willing to bet my life that it was
"i love you."
that over-used phrase, those all too common words
strung together in high hopes
of conjuring something real.
i bet she believes you too.
she'll probably even say it back.
its all so familiar...i used to be that girl.
oh, don't you remember?
we'd laugh, we'd smile
we'd swear forever with our eyes on the stars.
i'd make wish after wish, asking for you to only be mine
and i would never need another soul.
i can only wonder what you wished.
maybe you asked for me to walk out of your life
maybe you asked for forgiveness from the heart
you knew you'd break.
maybe you didn't wish anything at all
just looked at those stars in the sky and wondered
who would be sitting under them with you the next time.
at that time, did you know it was her?
had you already picked her as the next victim
was i, in your mind, already old news?
when our forever died out
just one forever too soon
i'm sure you knew it'd be me who would walk away.
i was always the first to run away
and you were always the one to stay.
you gathered the sympathy
while it was my heart that stopped beating
it was my life that fell apart.
you walked out of my world, stepping over the pieces
of what we used to have, straight into her arms.
i was worried i would never see you again
but i was worried i would too.
"i love you".
i can't say those words to anyone else
i can't feel anyone else at all.
regardless of what you meant when those three words
left your mouth, i said them back
with the certainty that i felt it; and i believed you.
does she believe you, too?
is she saying them back?
are you telling you how much you love her...
are you ready to break her heart?
