It consumed my soul, 

Every single day 

Began with you 

Ended with you 

You were so heavy to hold up, 

All this disappointment building inside 

Why wasn't I enough?


I kept the pain to myself

 I told you I understood 

Mistakes happen 

I still "believed you loved me”

 I was so young back then!


A fire raged in my heart, 

Slowly burning it up

 You fore me apart 

I let you

 Because I actually loved you.
