Tell me why
You left me behind
When I gave you all my love
All my time
You would rather hold her
Even though I’m the one
Who put you first
Watch me slip out of your reach now
Seeing your arms around her
Knocked the wind out of me
While her superficial beauty
And vapid personality
Take your breath away
I really thought there was more to you than that
I really thought your heart craved something
Deeper than that
I wish this was just a bad dream
That you weren’t a waste of time and effort
But you’d clearly rather waste your love
On a perceived win that likely won’t last long
Soon to be nothing more than a stained memory
That’s your loss though
Hope you figure that out
While you’re still young
