Take them back
Take the tears back
The ones that you caused
I don't want them
Like you didn't want me


You weren't the first
But you will be the last
I won't tell myself
Everything's ok
I woun't fall
For happily ever after
I won't trip over
Your lies
Anymore

You told me
Always
You told me
Forever
You told me
You ment it

Wow... I think the simplicity is really beautiful. I know a lot of people go through this and even I did once. I'm so sorry if this was you, I know it hurts. I loved it, keep writing :)
