Standing here, in the aftermath of you and I,
You were ready to leave, but I wasn't ready to say goodbye
I planned a whole life for us to to go through together
But you disappeared at the stop sign, two streets from forever
I knew I was delusional the day I caught your eyes
The orbs that hid the world of deception and lies
I knew it wouldn't end well because I knew you'd leave
But a small fraction of my heart just didn't want to believe
I didn't want to think, or comprehend it; but it's true
I never wanted to imagine or live in a world without you
All those things you said, everything still playing in my head
I replay it like a sad, broken record pathetically lying in my bed
I replay when it all started, the day our gazes met
I knew in my mind that your eyes are ones I'll never forget
I should've looked away, and focused on some other track
But now I'm too far gone and there's no turning back
You pretended that these feelings were ones we both shared
You pretended to love me and played like you cared
It's funny how I went from hugging you to holding my pillow instead
Funny how I never noticed that you were just playing with my head
You gave me the best year I could've ever dreamed of
You gave me all your time and your affection and love
You created this euphoria and this happiness streak
Then left my souls drowning; tears flooding down my cheek
You took all your belongings and removed any trace
All the memories, letters and pictures. All gone; erased
I guess I needed you more than you'll ever need me
I guess I was too lovestruck and misguided to see
I don't want anything from you- just please stop this pain
Make it leave -like you did- never to be seen again
The ache in my heart is too much for me to take
Broken pieces lodged in; classic signs of a heartbreak
There must be something in the air tonight
Cuz I'm lying here, helpless, starring at this light
I finally figured out this pain is my destiny, my fate
And with a final breath, I reach out and hold on to heaven's gate
I'm leaving you with a memory like you once left me
I'm leaving you with these words; sharp arrows you'll never see
So every time you hear the roaring of the thunder
I hope it breaks your heart like you broke mine 6 feet under
