I've always been the strong one
I've been taught by lost loves to keep my guard up and not let anyone in
...but then there was you
with your radiant smile and coy ways
I was in love from the moment I saw you, and I thought you were feeling me too
I don't quite know when the moment happened
but I realized I had been defeated
you took down my wall
but I trusted you and thought it was safe
I should have listened to my head and not my heart
you promised to never hurt me
but now the tears are falling
and i cant stand I've found that I'm on the ground and drowning in the puddles
the pain is as real as the love i have for you
the hurt just wont go away
we're still together but it doesn't feel that way
i can feel it in my heart the things that you wont bring yourself to say
but i know you and know what you're feeling
everyone keeps saying sorry and that you're hurting
so why won't you tell that to me
I'm not ready to throw us away
to throw away the love and the time we've spent together
how could you say that you didn't mean to say the things you said to me the night we decided to take some space
i have to wonder if you've ever meant anything you've ever said to me
has it all been a lie?
or are you just trying to hide from me and save your pride?
you know I've done nothing wrong but love you and be there for you
i want to stop hurting and i know that ending us would hurt and it would get better but it's just not a hurt I'm ready to experience
if you're willing, I'm willing to work through this together and make it better for both of us it's not going to easy but it's worth a try
i keep thinking i should just end the misery and hurt but i wont because...
I'm not ready to let you go.
