Old news

I bet you still think

that I'm not over you,

that I'm still in love with you.

Well you're wrong

I am completely over you now,

the feelings I had for you faded

with my hopes for us.

Now all you are is old news,

sure I still care about you

and I'd like to be friends

but you thought that I was

a lost hope.

You thought that I

couldn't get over you.

But look at me now,

I can see so clearly,

there are so many more girls

out there in the world

that I hadn't noticed before

because my head was all wrapped around

one thing, you.

I'm not always sad anymore,

I feel rejuvinated, reborn.

I can take on the world

and anything it puts in my path

because this is my path now

and I can control what I do.

Whereas it was your path then

and you controlled me

whether you knew it or not.

I don't care what you think

about me smoking and doing

stupid shit to help me live a little

because you still don't understand

what happy really is.

It's an emotion, not a word

and you can feel it

coursing through your whole body

all of the time.

Maybe if you were my friend,

my true friend...

I could show you.

Maybe if you weren't at a dead end...

you would understand

actual human emotions.

Because I don't know what you are

or who you are anymore.

The girl I once knew,

the girl I once adored

is gone forever, where did she go?

I'm not sitting here trying to find out

and I'm done trying to wait it out

because you don't mean much to me anymore

and I wish it happened differently

so I wouldn't have gotten hurt.

But it's all in the past now

and that's where it'll stay.

Now I see a brighter day

and I feel like I can be

just plain me.
