Just because I found you broken doesn’t mean I have to fix you.
I’m so tired of that shit. I’m not a hero. I’m not your savior.
I’m broken, too. I’m broken, too.

She got all your good parts
And destroyed all the rest.
Now I’m here dealing with all your bad parts
Getting lost in all this mess.

I get the sad the angry guy
The bitter the tainted droll.
And I don’t care I’m not going nowhere
Not while I’m drowning in this hole

Of misery and despair hatred and regret
Floating around my head.
I am about to be...

I’m gonna try something new today
I’m gonna start loving with my brain
I’ve already loved a million times with my heart
And all I’ve felt is pain.
I’m a pretty smart woman
I should’ve tried this long ago
But your whole life all you hear is
“Brains think, hearts love, and that’s all you need to know.”
Well my heart can’t take another beating
(No pun intended there)
I wanna save what’s left of it
For someone that will handle it with care.
If I’d had used my brain in the beginning
I could have protected my heart ...

It is over.
I am done with you.
In so many ways.
You lied to me
You hurt me
You wasted all my days.
No calls and no shows.
You broke promises and my heart.
I still forgave you every time
I thought our love was off the chart.
But I was played
Like a record
Over and over again.
Now that I think of it
You hurt me so many times
I guess you were never even really my friend.
Cuz with a friend like you
Who needs enemies?
Who needs all the grief?
You gave me your heart when it was convenient for you ...
