Of all the things we outgrew why had the belief that we are not enough the one that stayed?
When you told me that it's over —that you had your life together once more—why did I believe it?
Why did I hang on to every word you say when you're not the best person to keep your promises?
It's not your fault, though we are built too differently from the love we keep trying to emulate —we are bound to fall from the start so it doesn't come as a surprise that I wasn't chosen again
Still, it's not your fault if you think you deserve a beautiful life without me
I promised I wouldn't hang on to anyone's words of promise so it wouldn't hurt when they leave me hanging So why did I believe yours that night when we'd drunk our feelings away until dawn?
When you told me that you're over —that you already had your life together without me— why didn't I have trouble believing it?
Of all the things we outgrew why had the feeling that I didn't deserve anything more than hearts being broken the one that stayed?
