To Someone I Used To Love

by AlchemistEdwardElricImpersonater   Apr 23, 2005


My life never meant anything to you,
You dropped me when you were the only thing that kept me from falling down.
You left me weak and dying.
You left me wearing nothing but a frown.

I should have known it too good to be real,
I was dumb enough to try to pretend it's true.
When you threw that weight against my shoulders,
All that echoed in my head was "I love you"

It was all part of some plan,
Because God condemned me from the start,
I never should have met you that day,
But it's not any better now that we're apart.

I wanted so bad for us to be,
Even though I knew we never could.
I wanted so bad to kill myself.
You were the one person who didn't say "You should"

But now you have thrown me out of this ship,
Like something you didn't need.
I know that I should have let you go sooner,
But my love for you was apparently also greed.

A rich man's gold couldn't hold the world of what I wanted from you,
Love with every inch of the my soul.
All I want to know right now,
Is why you had to go.

But I guess good-byes are supposed to be short,
Or in this case there was none.
For everyday all I see is you,
When I look into the sun.

One day I will die because of you,
And I hope you understand.
All I wanted was someone to love,
Someone to hold my hand.
