From You


I've been tending 
To these lies
Pretending
All the time
That I'm fine
And I find
In my mind
That I've been blind
To the truth
The thought of you
Still tears me apart
Like a dagger to the heart
And it was my fault
That things ended 
With us apart
You got up
From the fall
I stalled
Still falling apart
But saying these lies of mine
That I'm fine
That I've moved on
That I don't think at night
What I should have done
To make it right
I'm sorry for what I did
But you seem fine
I'm the one stuck behind
Unable to move past
How I screwed up that one time
And now it's screwing with my life
I just need to hear from you
That things are alright
