You didn\'t break my heart, you broke my mind
You were supposed to teach me love, instead you taught me hate and pain
Instead of trust, you taught me how to flinch when someone moves their hands to quickly
Instead, you taught me how to be distrustful with anyone who stepped into my life
Instead of happiness, you taught me how to cry in silence
And I don\'t hate for it, not anymore at least
I forgive you
I forgive you for your painful words, for the slammed doors
For the screaming
For the bruises and bloody noses
I forgive you
Not because I want to, but because I need to, to move on
Because this time you won\'t hold me back and call it love
