I tried so hard. When I felt that you were giving up, I tried harder. You sit around and complain about how no one's loyal anymore, but do you even know the definition? I stood beside you even when we both knew you were wrong. How could you not see all I've done? I stuck with you through every struggle. Why'd you say you loved me? Do you even understand how strong that word is?
You threw months away for a girl you've known for days. I bent over backwards for you, and you chose the girl you've only known for a couple weeks? You filled me with lies. I don't know why I believed a word that escaped your lips. You told me not to worry about her, so why were you with her only two days after I left? You gave up on me like everyone else, and you have the nerve to say you didn't do anything to hurt me.
You didn't do anything you keep me, you didn't do anything to benefit our relationship, but you did a lot to hurt me. The insults, the threats, the assault. Do you not remember any of this? You destroyed me as a person. You killed my confidence and stole what I had left of a heart. Maybe that's why you treat her so well, you took my heart and replaced it with yours.
I was so stupid to take you back. I should have listened to what they told me about you, but no. I was dumb enough to actually put my trust in you, thanks to you now I don't trust a word. You built me up then tore me down. As much as I wanna hate you, I know it's not possible. As much as I wish I could go back and never give you the time of day, I cannot. So instead I'm stuck with long nights, wet eyes, sad songs, and a broken heart. As much as you did me wrong, I just hope all your dreams come true. I hope you find the girl of your dreams, but I hope she breaks your heart.
