Today started so normal
Another day in the life
Until your awful words
Cut me like a knife

I feel your anger
And it brings me pain
To think that my words
Caused such disdain 

My words that were taken
From here and from there
Are judged over my actions
How is that fair?

I shared words with you
These thoughts of mine
Taking a chance
Crossing a line

What I don’t understand
As I sit here alone
Is why you took those words
And made them your own

Can’t you see that those words
Apply to so many?
To her and to him
And to part fantasy? 

When we were alone
Did you not feel at all
That the wall round my heart
Was starting to fall?

Don’t just read the words
Written down on a page
Hear with your heart
To help quell that rage 

If I meant nothing to you
I’d rather not know
I’ll carry my memories
Wherever I go 

And remember the warmth
Of that last special night
When I opened my heart
Before morning’s light 

I’ll ask only this
If there’s one thing you do
Remember those words
Were not about you.
