When you look at me,

When you look at me, what and who do you see?

Do you regret leaving me sometimes? Do you ever wonder about me?

Does it bother you knowing that I have moved on?

Tell me, How’s your life been since I been gone?

Do you sleep well at night knowing you broke a heart; do I ever cross your mind?

Can you still laugh and eat and sleep, or are you falling behind?

I just want to thank you for making me strong.

To you, we were a game and I hopelessly played along.

You thought you won that game but you lost the prize

And it’s about time that you realize!

You lost a girl who would have done anything for you

But that was something you would never do!

You just wanted me because you knew you could have me and you got just that

You punctured my heart and stabbed me in the back!

You would say sorry but never meant it, it was all the same

Thanks for making me see that you could never change.

I gave you every bit of my love and all of my heart.

And then you just went and tore it all apart…

Because of you I am left with nothing! Nothing to love; Nothing to call my own!

I am living in a place where at one point of time I used to call "home" !

And now, not even "home" can fix what has been done to me.

And I realize now that maybe this was meant to be.

Because of you I won’t trust people as easy and now in my heart there is a hole

Give me back the pieces of my heart that you stomped on and stole!

Take every memory because I sure don’t want them.

Take back the “I love you’s”; I’m no longer your friend.

Because those were just words that never meant anything.

It’s a shame I loved you as much as I did before I had to see

That you were a mistake. But now I see, my eyes are brand new

No longer do I want anything to do with you.

Because I never really had you, you were never really there

And I was the only one who ever really cared…
