Last of Me

I'm standing in the rain, the drops merging with my tears
heartbroken, lost, trust is now merely a myth
I smile to myself and thoughts of the coming years
I was once alone no matter who I was with
now that's no longer the case, now I'm tough
and know better not to just hand out my love...
I told my most recent love all my dreams
twirling in the rain, I spread my arms wide
their leaving can never kill the girl inside
heartache aside, I widen my smile, they haven't seen the last of me
for I know now that they weren't mine to hold
now I can prove my worthiness to this world
and love every moment I move forward without the cold
only to step into the serene warmth of my life unfurled...
love comes, love goes,
it brings out the beauty in the beast
letting them go can only show
that my dreams are possible without them, but memories I'll keep.
I throw my head back in true happiness
and laugh so all can hear
that I threw away all the pain I've repressed
and step into the arms of life so perfectly clear...
still, I stand in the rain, the drops caress my face
heartbroken, lost, trust, no longer merely a myth
I remember, how could I forget, my heart's desire
to never give in, to stay strong and take a taste
of what it's like to discover bliss.
I told my most recent love all my dreams
twirling in the rain, I spread my arms wide
their leaving can never kill the girl inside
heartache aside, I widen my smile, they haven't seen the last of me...
unbroken I'll stand, smiling nevertheless, and happy with the goodbye....
