I used to view you as a selfish jerk
Who hurt me just to get away
But I just now learned
The real reason you didn't stay
My safe place is clinging next to you
Yours is running to hide
We were both hurt kids
Who used each other as a guide
Who are scared for the future
Who don't know who they are set out to be
I needed to be held inside of a cage with you
And you needed to be set free
I keep going without you
Because I deserve to heal
I made you walk away
Because you didnt know how to feel
It's been a year
And still you make me fall
You make me want to rip my heart out
And shake it like a magic eight ball
The feelings may be gone
But the memories will never fade
So I'll stick a bookmark on our page
And cover this ache with a band-aid
