You left a hole a mile wide 
And now I know how it feels to die 
This burning pit and vast alone 
I hate that you left but I’m glad you’re gone 
How could you shred my heart like this
When I gave you trust upon my lips 
When I gave you life within my hand 
How did we meet this empty end? 
Why did you choose what you did
Why her bed and not my kiss 
What made you think it was okay
To tell the truth and ask me to stay 
I deserve someone for me 
Someone who sees what I see 
Someone who won’t hold me during the day
But at night go a separate way 
I want to care and be cared for 
But you didn’t do that. And you won’t anymore.
