Words, broken with tears to mend

stroNGER for me

left with the only thing i kno how to deal with

the broken heart that you played with

oh don't get me wrong it was once so pretty and full

not a scratch on it

then i met u

letting everything slip away to give to u

i didn't kno what i was doing

i didn't see the warning signs in ur eyes

i saw the way u lied

but ur " i'm so sorry baby, i loovveee u so much"

covered that sh*t right up

i played wit the broken heart thats now mine

and my warm tears were my only companion

i really didn't kno someone could cry just so much

until i met u

i didn't think i could give so much away

so unnoticed it all went

my heart was the first thing to go

then came my pride when i went back to

many times to count

my body was urs from the beginning

with how u loved me to be un written

my tears slowly screamed ur name at night

in the staircase when u would just know

what to say to make them come so

willingly for u

but there was one thing, no actually two

that knew u for u

my faith in me was the hidden whisper i

never heard until i saw her name on ur phone

an my courage was the rock that pushed

me thru the one to many times that ur hand

slipped and landed on me

and then finally screamed in my ear

one late night, i think faith was helping her this time,

" LOOK AT U, CRYING ON THE FLOOR YET AGAIN,

FOR HIM NO LESS, UR STRONGER THEN THIS,

AND U DESERVE WAY MUCH MORE THEN THIS,

SO IT'S TIME YOU DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT"

and to this day i haven't been the girl that i was

when i was with you

i've been happier being alone
