At first when you left I thought it was the end,
I thought that death and emptiness would be my only friends,
But now I see I must hold on, and carry on with life,
If you're not here then I won't cry at night,
It still hurts my broken heart, that you could be so cruel,
That you could tear me apart and play me for a fool,
You used me, abused me, swore that you cared,
I convinced myself you loved me but it was all in my head,
I am hurting so much but I won't let you win,
This is where a whole new life begins,
I'll survive without you as I did before,
Each day I'll be stronger, more and more,
And one day you'll look back and realize what you lost,
But by then I'll be long, long, gone,
Still numb inside from the pain of your words,
But sitting around crying would make it worse,
I'm not going to waste my tears over you,
I'm going to smile and I will make it through,
No matter what you have said and done,
I'll still be alive, I will be strong
