I spent all my nights waiting for you to come back,
But every night I see you slipping away,
You say I need to let go of the grip,
But it's so impossible for me.
I know I will wish that,
I wouldn't have said I love you,
But how could I not say that,
When I truly did.
I broke promises,
And I skipped around the truth,
But little did I know,
It's only going to hurt worse in the end.
The only things I have left to hold,
Is the box full of memories,
The mind full of words you spoke,
And a battered heart just slowly dying in my hands.
I never imagined,
Such a heartbreak like this,
Nothing made me feel like the way you have,
When I was yours.
There will always be a picture, song, word,
That will always make my mind go back to you,
I can't help but just break down,
And wondered why I had to let you go.
Letting each of my fingertips around your picture,
Just to let go, took all my strength,
When they all came unglued,
I couldn't do anything but watch your picture disappear in the water.
I guess I will go ahead and sit myself in the mirror once more,
Carve the word 'WORTHLESS' into my arm again,
I will scream at myself for being such a stupid girl,
Who couldn't even play the game right.
I didn't know the hints and tricks,
The country roads and highways,
I didn't even know what words to say,
But the only thing I could say is " I Love You."
I guess I can go to the bar now,
Just to watch my world slip away with you,
I finally let go of the grip,
But it was near impossible to do, but I made it through.
