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
