I should have...

I cry my eyes out just so you could see

But you’re blinded 

Not by love

But by your ego 

You seek validation from them

But I seek validation from you 

I let you hurt me

Hurt my pride 

Play with my emotions 

I let you

Broken was I when I realized 

You can’t be fixed 

This is who you are 

This is all you will ever be 

Stupidly I pray 

Every year 

That you could see 

See

That which the Lord

Has blessed you with 

But still again 

You seek validation from them 

But I seek validation from you 

You

You 

You who has hurt me 

My pride 

I feel worthless even though 

I can’t feel 

I feel stupid for wishing you could see

Even though you was blind 

Ego!

Pride

These little words changed everything 

This wasn’t you 

You

You 

You whose smile calm the storms 

Now I hate the smile 

The smile on your face 

I should have let you go

I should let you go

I won’t hold on 

Holding on

Would hurt my pride 

So I pray this last time 

Prayers filled with pain 

That you get 

That which you deserve 

Still I let you go
