Never Again

A wandering mind is dazed in its thoughts
as it hopes so strongly you haven't forgot
the memories made which were so long ago
that return to my mind and fill me with sorrow

I thought I was strong and that I've overcome
all the sad and cold tears that have left me so numb
as I felt the only way to not let myself shatter
would be to erase time and pretend you didn't matter

You were out of my mind and I was okay
until I shut my eyes and reminisced to that day
And now it's so painful knowing the fact
that what I believed to be true was only an act

As this wound that's not healed has been resurrected
I only now understand how much of me you've affected
I try to pretend it's just another story
because I don't want to think that you've stolen my glory

And it's hard to find that behind your eyes
my mind has now found so much to despise
Though it may have appeared that you've taken my all
In the end I won't let myself fall

All of the tension you've enforced upon me
I've taken inside and haven't set free
And I replay the moment as inside I'm strained
of the way I thought you were something I gained

There are so many ways, I wish I'd gone instead
but I will not let, this take over my head
Now as you stand before me, and I can see through your eyes
Never again will you feed me your lies.
