because I loved you

you

talk to me with an open mind

open arms

open heart

it helps me 

I

talk to you with an open mind

open arms

open heart

it helps you

this was ideal

this should have happened

this never happened

I did what I could

and you didn't

you never did the same, yet

my arms were wide open, but

yours were 

only around yourself

wait

yours

yours were around me

so tightly, so tightly

I couldn't breathe

you kept me as yours

by your side

and I didn't realize

you told lies

you used me more than three times

why didn't I open my eyes? 

you said you loved me

but

you didn't love me

love is certainly not what you gave me

you didn't try when I cried

your mind

your arms

your heart

were closed

I trusted you with everything 

and you?

you trusted me with nothing

we were supposed to talk

we were supposed to love

we were supposed to trust

we were supposed to do it all

together

none of this happened

none of this will ever happen

what happened was never okay

and that's why I didn't stay
