I should have left


I knew you were there

I knew you didn't care

but I stayed

and I continued to imagine us dancing in the rain

and I sustained all that pain

that nearly drove me insane

So now I dance

with my eyes full of tears

and to my freinds I will rant

I will look in the mirror

with my face forlorned

because my heart

had been worn and torn

and ripped apart

I convinced myself

that your soul was full

of a big heart and huge dreams

and despite what I was told

I hurt myself because I thought I would redeem

everything that I had lost

I lost everything

without knowing what everything would cost

so now I'm listening to people with broken hearts sing

and I might give you a death stare

but its only because

my heart has suffered through more then just a tare
