Doing Better

My heart doesn't yearn
for the love that we once had
My eyes no longer cry
for when you make me sad

I smile more often
tears have been replaced
I'm stronger when I tell you no
and don't feel bad when I see your face

I can now admit
that I'm happier than before
I can now go on each day
more satisfied than before

And oh how much I have changed
I'm not weak the way I was
I now see you for who you are
and let go of all that trust

I don't get sad and lonely
I take each day and smile
I try not to be so down and mad
I make each moment worth while

Things are all so different
without you hear next to me
I can make my own choices
and finally just live free

And I know how much it angers you
to know I'm not the person I was before
How much your bothered by the fact
that I've finally got the courage to walk out that door

You still call me and tell me things
I know to try and keep me near
but your holding onto something
that no longer belongs to you dear

I'm moving on with my life
something I should a did a long time ago
and you can try your hardest
but theres something you ought to know

I'm done baby I'm sorry
I didn't think things would come to this
and although I feel the way I do
a part of me will always miss

The days that we shared laughter
the nights we held each other tight
the times you smiled and said I love you
and all those restful nights

I will remember when you held my hand
and acted so sincere
but I will also never forget
the pain you caused me dear

You can't take back
the things you did and what has already taken place
you cant pretend you didn't do wrong
and think all the bad will be erased

For you and I know well
the things you put me through
and you my dear know very well
how much I loved you...
