Lyrics

Didn't you ever see what you did to me?
Didn't you even know what this meant to me?
You act like all of this was just a personal choice
Like you weren't choosing sides

Didn't you consider the effects?
I'm standing here watching as you left
Apparently this was never what I thought inside
What it was in my mind

Of all the ones who made me wanna kill myself
I never thought I'd see your name up on that shelf
You left me hanging by just a thread and
You left me here with almost nothing left

I, I gave you everything you asked for
I listened to your every plea
I put up with the strife and all the lies
And never asked for anything
You are everything I've tried to fight
You're everything I've regretted inside
Everything I wished I'd never done
And never given time

Don't you ever tell me that you wish things could be the same
Don't you ever tell me that you regret a single thing
I know better than to believe a single word you say yes
I know everything you said was just a lie because

The pain inside me drags me down
Down to the bottom
You left me just like all the others
In the end
I hope you know that you don't deserve
A thing you've gotten
I hope you know you're just a child
Let me be clear

I, I gave you everything you asked for
I listened to your every plea
I put up with the strife and all the lies
And never asked for anything
You are everything I've tried to fight
You're everything I've regretted inside
Everything I wished I'd never done
And never given time

Everything was just a second away I guess
Everything was just another of my regrets
A hundred lies couldn't make me lose my trust in you
But you did it with the truth

I hate the air you breathe
I loathe the world you see
Can you even understand
What it means to care about something?

Or do you only think for yourself?
Do you think of no one else?
Do you give in to not caring for anyone?
I hope you know

I saw through every lie you said
Through every word you'd sell
Through every angry look
And every empty smile
And I just let it pass
Acted like we were friends
I guess you couldn't stand
Dealing with my demands
I hate you
What you put me through
Everything you did to me
That you passed off as normalcy
You're a liar

And all the songs I wrote
They all bear your name
Between the lines and notes
I guess you were the same
