You know,
for a long, long time
I kept thinking about how I could
leave you, end us, move on
You know,
for a long, long time
I’ve kept thinking about how
I left you, f***ed up, tried to move on
You know,
for a long, long time
I’ve kept thinking about you
I haven’t stopped thinking
about you
about how I left you
I haven’t stopped thinking
about how
your past, your trauma
your life, even as you live it now
isn’t by choice
I haven’t stopped thinking
about how
you don’t know
what a healthy relationship is
isn’t your fault
I haven’t stopped thinking
how I’m not sure
I know what it is, either
Now I can’t stop thinking
it’s not your fault, that you
don’t know how – or what – love is
You know,
I truly worried about you
for a long, long time
You know,
that time you told me you loved me
made me sweat my shoes off
I know,
you’ll pretend I’m a stranger now
but a hurt heart never lies
