Everything We Had

by Maegan   May 23, 2006


Long awaited tears
Stream down my face
Then splatter onto the tub
And roll down the drain

You watch my eyes burn red
Rid my cheeks of the salt
Lean in...give me a kiss
And whisper "Its my fault"

You want my love back
You want what we had
You want to take back everything
That made me oh so mad

You tell me its okay
You tell me not to stray
You plead for the return of my feelings
That were there the previous day

Sittin' here crying my eyes out
Replaying all the screaming and fighting
That was just here and about

Tired of the games
Sick of all the shame
That hangs over my head
Knowing you're to blame

You want my love back
You want what we had
You want to take back everything
That made me oh so mad

Foolishness! Foolishness!
You weren't quick enough
Because I saw you hustle that girl outta here
Like she was the crook

Like it was her fault
And she was to blame
Like she was the reason
You lost what you had gained

You want my love back
You want what we had
You want to take back everything
That made me oh so mad

The truth is it wasn't her fault
You're responsible
For not telling her at all

She is just as hurt as I am
And I'm sure she's cried once or twice
But she's just not taking as long
To look at you and say goodbye

I wipe my tears
Look into your eyes
Count to ten
And say goodbye

I pick up my coat
Walk out of your house
Never look back
And realize I'm out

You STILL want my love back
You STILL want what we had
You STILL want to take back everything
That made me oh so mad

I don't want you
I'm tired of crying
And if I had stayed with you
I would continue dieing
