I Watched It Burn...

by Raychil   Nov 19, 2006


I can't say I'll really ever hate you
Because the truth is that I won't
But if you ask me if I love you
I'll lie and say I don't

It hurts to even think about
The times we were together
I thought they'd always be beautiful
Something I could treasure

But now they're nothing more
Then a reminder that you're gone
All they do is break my heart
And this has gone on far too long

You hurt me really bad this time
And I decided it was my turn
So I took everything you'd ever given me
Lit it up, and watched it burn

I sat there in my room
Watching the fire spark
I felt a sudden numbness
And was again consumed by dark

My heart has been broken
And I don't think it will repair
You left me alone, you left my cold
You left me in despair

So as I watch our pictures burn
Along with words I wrote for you
I feel nothing but stupidity
That I believed your notes were true

Don't expect me to come back
I gave you another shot
So when you realize you mistake
I won't return to you on the spot

You hurt me really bad this time
And I decided it was my turn
So I took everything you'd ever given me
Lit it up, and watched it burn.
