Stronger

Here I go again

Overreacting as usual

Over you

I've tried to love you

I've tried to just be friends

But I can't

I can't just be friends

Not with you

Not when you're so...

So imperfectly perfect

And it's had to take it

All the pain, I mean

The pain of you

Falling out of love

With me

I can't just be friends

We have to be more

Or nothing at all.

Being stuck in the middle

In limbo

Hurts

Now, I think,

I can safely say

We're nothing at all

It was wrong

To even get my hopes up

I knew we would never

Ever

Work.

But I let myself believe

Believe that there was hope

For a you and me

A me and you

So I let you in

And everything burned. 

Now, I'm walking through the ashes

Picking up pieces of me

Destroying the pieces of you.

Slowly, but surely

Bit by bit

I'm deleting you.

I'm done with the pain.

I'm done with the drama.

I'm leaving you

In the ashes

Because I deserve more

I deserve so much better

I've realized that

I don't need you

With me.

I don't need you.

I only need me.

And the next time

I fall in love, 

No, the first time

I truly fall in love

Is when I learn

To love

Me.
