Why is it I found myself back again
Told you my life wasn’t yours to play with
But your broken bridges you want to mend
And I can’t deny that it’s you I miss
I won’t forget your words that I trusted
Said I had your heart, crazy about me
I always hold on to what was once said
Wanted to be the only one you see
Told you in the street, I was on cloud 9
Told me you didn’t want to say bye then
I should have known it wouldn’t end up fine
Know what was and what should have never been
Getting harder since I still see your face
You’re the one I still don’t want to replace
----------------
You came back, but what are your intentions
Can’t find my trust, though you know I want to
When we lock eyes, I can sense the tension
But when we’re alone, you’re the same I knew
So you came back, but what is it you need
Is it a friend you seek? Or something more?
The latter is what I want to believe
But can’t deny the past has left me sore
So if I’m not what you want, let me go
If I’m not the object of your desire
Then for our future’s sake, leave me alone
No ill will, just don’t want to be on fire
So I’ll pray that you return to my arms
And if not the case, still wish you no harm
----------------
Now I know for sure it’s all said and done
Our time has passed, now I’m finally free
While it lasted, can’t deny it was fun
But the hurt you’ve caused me, I can now see
Been down this road before, but now it’s tired
Used to dream ‘bout those days and reminisce
The days back when you weren’t a liar
But realize, you had your shot and you missed
I no longer blame myself for the pain
You taught me how to act in not loving
Because I realized you like to play games
But that’s not me, so I should be going
One day you’ll learn to treat another great
But know I’ll no longer be here to wait
