lyrics

It didn’t have to be this way
Its something that I’ll never understand
I suffered through the years
And shed so many tears
I don’t know what else I can say
Should I put a smile on my face and pretend to be ok
I never thought it’d end this way
And now that it has I don’t think I’ll ever be ok
I tried so many ways and still I cant escape the pain
I told you that I loved you and you said you felt the same
But clearly that’s a lie
You would have never done them things
But you did and I’ll never be the same
I gave you everything
It’s a shame that you took it all for granted
Creeping behind my back is not an accident you plan it
And that right there shows me that you never cared
And for that type of pain one can never be prepared
So tell why I’m worried about you
I’m hurting more knowing you’re hurting too
I don’t expect you to understand cuz you’re selfish
And I know that I meant nothing to you
Shit its true
They say the sun comes out after the rain
So I hope one day I feel joy instead of pain
But its not likely
Even though I usually do the right thing
Still trapped in the eye of the storm
Thunder and lightning
But I keep on pushing
Tryna find some closure
Realizing what’s really important as I get older
Understand
You can be the best version of a man
And still get left out in the rain like you didn’t mean a thing
They’ll come and tell you they’re sorry
But it doesn’t mean a thing
The damage been done from the drama that you bring
That extra baggage you carry
It could have been a ring
You’re your own worst enemy
Sabotage everything
So tell me what I’m supposed to do
When I cant picture my life without you
I guess its just a memory
Too bad you were nothing you pretended to be
What a shame
