Hurt You Put on Me

31 1 1
                                    

I lay here on the floor

Curled in a ball

Clenching my chest

Gasping for breath

As tears of sorrow flow. 

I've never felt like this

'Till you left

me broken on the floor.

You said that you cared

Even said forever

When I knew it was a lie.

When I needed you most

You were never there

Thought maybe I should die.

My throat is swelling

From the cuts deep inside

As I swollowed your words.

My heart lay broken

Battered and beatened

On my bedroom floor.

You called me friend

Then blame me for everything

But you have no one to blame 

But yourself.

You could have done this then

Got it over with

But instead you led me on.

I was never a friend,

I was your way out

And now you discard me 

Like yesterdays trash.

But I'm better than this

I'm better than you.

I won't blame others for my mistakes

'Cause they are mine to bare alone.

And I hope you're happy,

Happy cold and alone.

You won't have this shoulder to cry on

You won't have me to run to.

Not because I will turn you away

But because you wont swollow your pride.

You've shown me what I could become

You unleashed that beast.

It is as much as your fault 

As it is mine.

Just swollow your pride

Open your eyes

And you might see the friend 

That has been with you all along.
