After

He took my heart he made me fly Then he  shoot me right out of the skyHe took my heart he made me swimto the bottom of the ocean and back again He threw the line I took the bait He drew me in now I’m a lying on a plate  “I’ll always be there” in a way he said…Then he left me for  “fill in the blank”.Now I’m picking up the pieces and hopingHow do I fix something that was already broken? Somebody asked me if I knew himI just smiled and said once upon a time Now all I can do is move on with my day Holding back tears acting ok.I  lost myself  to please everyone elseDon’t tell me I've changed When he  gave me the knifeDon’t say I've cut him offAll I did was stop living his life.“I’ll always be there” in a way he said…Then he left me for  “fill in the blank”.Now I’m picking up the pieces and hopingHow do I fix something that was already broken?  He’s the  enemy of my crazy world  He  rob’s  me of my peace While I stand here empty handsBecause I feel so  incomplete Since things aren't what he  want’s  to see He’s only seeing part of meThere's so much more of me Then he’ll ever see “I’ll always be there” in a way he said…Then he left me for  “fill in the blank”.Now I’m picking up the pieces and hopingHow do I fix something that was already broken? If I  love himI’ll  set them freeIf comes  back he's mine to keepIf he doesn't  he never wasSo in the end my  Safe haven is often the place Where you will find my deepest heartache “I’ll always be there” in a way he said…Then he left me for  “fill in the blank”.But I’m picking up the pieces knowing I’ll never fix something that was already broken.
