so much more

I want to thank you for trampling on my heart
for all of the pain you gave me from the start
because of you I learned what I don't want out of love
and now I realize that I deserve  so much more than that

no, I won't settle for less than the best
that love can give
no more gathering of crumbs you've thrown my way
my eyes are open wide and no longer will I cry
nor accept a love into my life that that's so unhealthy

I deserve to have someone love me
just the way
that I've always wanted to be loved
a man who loves me exactly as I am
I won't settle for less than what I want
because I know now I deserve so much more.
