Silence Uncovered

Don't tell me that you miss me
Don't tell me that you care
Don't tell me that your thinking
Of things no longer there

What used to be so open
Is never yours again
It closed the day you chose her
You made your bed up then

I remember you once told me
"Every choice, it's consequence"
You had your options lined out
Now accept what happens hence

I shaped my world around you
You were all I really had
Looking back I can't believe
I led a life so sad

I laid my heart so open
And I worked myself so bare
It never was enough then
So how can you now care?

Now I'm left to pick up
My pieces off the floor
Maybe when I'm finished
I'll find myself once more

I can't break my back again
For nothing in return
I wonder do you miss me?
Or was I never the concern?

You know you only left me
When I tried to help myself
So forgive me if I'm bitter
Over things you never helped

And for all my hard work
What do I have to show?
You never stopped to help me
So much pain was left to grow

So don't tell me that you miss me
Those words mean nothing here
I'll forever be a friend for you
But I've washed my conscious clear.
