For a not so special lady

I gave you everything you needed    
all you could ever want    
Yet I became superseded      
Guess that’s the way of a debutante      
When we first met, you were all but broken    
then again, maybe you were never whole    
I built you up with words unspoken      
now I need back the confidence you stole      
     
Why do your friends all blame me?    
Did you tell them it was all my fault?    
Are they naive, Or just too blind to see?    
My wounds are open, you’re dishing out the salt    
Everyone said, that I could do so much better      
Now I know what they all meant    
My friends laugh and say just forget her    
snap out of your love sick lament    
     
I know where life will take you    
so enjoy the ride while it lasts      
You're cliché darling, nothing new    
I’m going places, you're going nowhere fast    
As time goes by, I’m getting stronger    
The gulf between us now so vast    
You are in my heart no longer    
Babe, I left you in the past
