How can I be standing here?
Nothing left but pain and tears.
Empty heart and scars that bleed,
denied the person I really need.
You walked right by me without a clue,
of just what your decisions would do.
It’s not your fault, you didn’t know,
you didn’t see the feeling I showed.
I guess I didn’t try hard enough,
and now the outcome I’m facing is tough.
I’m being forced to live a life without you,
something I thought I could never do.
But I guess I’m doing better than I thought.
I’m walking through all the destruction that was wrought.
My heart feels empty as outer space,
though it doesn’t show in my face.
I wish sometimes I could forget
all the time on you I’ve spent,
but the past cannot be changed,
and the future is still out of range.
I’ll always remember my love for you,
this I know is very true.
I can’t take back those hours and days,
but I won’t let your memory stand in my way.
It’s not really all that bad.
Most of the time I don’t even feel sad.
I’m re-thinking all the things I’ve wished,
I’m seeing all the things I’ve missed.
I’m getting rid of my reasons to cry,
and I’m finally going to say goodbye.
