Love is not bruises and scars

I'm right here where you left me
Laying on this hardwood floor
Crying like a fool over you.

A little to late
For seeing the truth
Lying to myself
Until you said goodbye.

My mind knew you would
Someday leave me
Broken-hearted and confused.

I wanted to believe you loved me
Even after you turned my body black and blue

As I looked at the girl in the mirror
I had to face the truth.

If I begged you to stay
You would one day put me in an early grave.
