Placing my heart on a platter for you to take

Wondering about the decision you’ll make

Trying hard not to think about the pain

But it hurts so much, it’s difficult to stay sane

It’s comforting to know that you still love me

But I know I’m not the only one you see

I think my heart broke a little today

Because I saw the look you gave her, that way

That way I love to always see you look at me

And there it was, but you weren’t looking at me

I hate knowing that there’s someone else there

On your mind, besides me, it doesn’t seem fair

And yet I know it is, because it was my decision

But I couldn’t see past the pain blinding my vision

I was so scared to open my heart again and get crushed

It’s happened too many times, and I felt rushed

I gave everything to him, everything that I had

I kept giving and he kept taking, and it makes me so sad

To think I wasted myself on him all that time

Trying to change and mold myself, not realizing my crime

I realize now, that it was an act, and all wrong

I was just trying to make him keep loving me all along

I was like a fricking puppet and he pulled the strings

It’s too bad it took me so long to realize these things

But you’re different. You love me for who I am inside

I don’t change myself when I’m around you, I don’t hide

It’s so amazing, and so much better I hope you know

I love you still, and I can’t believe I let you go…

I’m sorry I put you through pain you don’t deserve

But if she thinks she loves you as much as I do, she’s got nerve

I’m trying to hold on, and keep an open mind

But it’s just getting harder and harder to find

That happiness that always keeps me going no matter what

It’s slipping away, because I miss you, I miss us, but

I know that she’s changed, and I know you still care

I just hope you remember what we had, what we still share

There’s a spark between us that I’ve never had before

A connection that always has me wanting more

It’s something special, something true, something real

I just hope you understand the way I feel.
