I used to listen when you said you would always be there.
I sit and think about all the times we had together,
and how I thought I used to love you, when you used to care.
I'd last through any weather,
but when the our storm came, you left at the first sight of rain,
leaving me here
to deal with all this pain.
I sat there crying, thinking what did I do wrong?
I looked to my mother who said, "Baby, stay strong,"
so I wiped my tears and began anew.
New me, new life, and happiness without you.
Someday you'll miss me, but it will be too late for us to be.
You didn't know what you were missing,
but now you do, calling me crying saying, "Baby, I love you."
I love you too; that's why I'm letting you go.
I'm a hell of a good woman.
It's too bad it took you this long to know.
What we had is in the past, it's a reason we didn't last,
but whenever you get discouraged about why we're through,
just look in the mirror
because it's all on you...
I hope next time you learn from your mistakes,
and when that girl needs you do whatever it takes.
always remember this, I love you, but I love me more.
I had to learn that when you walked out the door...
