I Cried

I cried because I love you

But love can’t make a way

I cried because I heard you

Breathing in the words you had to say

I cried because I’ve wanted you

But it never worked out that way

I cried a lot of tears, my hearts just full of pain.

My mirrors have barely seen any smiles of mine.

I was a fool to think that I could be happy this time.

I kept trying to just go away

But you’d pull me back in

There’s no way I’ll be the same.

Turns out you were right again.

I did get addicted

You became the only thing I could think of

No matter what was mentioned.

I spent years trying to build you up

Even at a distance

I remember the kid you were

And was hoping that youy didn’t.

I’ve given you more credit than you really deserved

Put you high upon my pedestal

Just for you to crush my nerves.

I believed every word you had to say.

But your actions spoke way louder

Even I could see through your ways.

Then I cried again,

Cause I saw right through your lies.

Spent all these years under your deception.

But I’m walking away this time.

I cried myself to sleep this morning.

Your lack of presence is tormenting.

I cried for my heart that’s been bleeding

You would clot it up so gently.

And when I cried this morning,

Through blurred vision I could finally see,

That all these things,

You’ve ever said to me,

Was nothing more than flattery.

Should I cry

Even one more time

It’ll be because I’m turning you into a distant memory.

Time will pass,

Though my heart may never heal,

At least I know I got away.

And let go of all the things that I feel.

I cried because I loved you

But love couldn’t make a way

I cried because I heard you

But knew for me, there really is no place stay.
