Just weeks ago, you promised you'd stay.
I was your best friend, never left your side.
But here I am alone, watching you walk away.
Wondering what caused the end of you and I.
It was for you that I promised to live.
I'd stay here, pretend I was all right.
Pull my jacket sleeves over my cut open skin.
Try to live another night.
But to live, one needs a reason.
Mine left me here, betrayed me with my heart.
It's summer, but it's cold, must be the wrong season.
It's oh-so-sincere, in this moment that I fall apart.
I'm curled up with your jacket, it never fit me anyway.
Ruining it with my tears.
I watched you walk away,
after I gave you five years.
That's more than I've ever given anyone.
Longest time that my heart's been invested in.
You left me with the setting sun.
Wrapped in my own darkness.
Now all I've got is this shiny blade.
I know it's not leaving me behind.
It's never made me feel betrayed.
Just kept my demons locked inside.
Maybe it's because you saw the real me.
No one else has, it's always been locked inside a cell.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Maybe you'd rather care for someone else.
You saw the worst in me,
Before I saw it myself.
I guess it's time I see,
How your betrayal really felt.
