I stayed because I thought you needed my love
I took what you dished out because I didn’t think I was worthy of your love
Looking back, we were just two people lost in a big world

You wanted the thought of love and I needed to be loved by you
You thought I’d be your saving grace and I reimagined myself with you as my center
We were just two people lost in a dark path

I cried and begged you to love me
You said love was never enough and you’d never be held back by it
Just two people lost in a battle waged in a war that has nothing to do with us

I thought you were beautiful even when you destroyed all my hopes and dreams
You found me childlike and told me I could never amount to what you want
Why did two people lost and confused embark on this path?

I still think of you and the echoes of your brutality
I wonder if I even ever cross your mind or if you have replaced me with such decisiveness
When two people need love but don’t have it in them

I didn’t want to love anyone else
You didn’t want to love me
It is a story of two people who never did anything with what they had

The shadows of the love I had for you haunt me
Are you scared that you left me slip away or was this just part of a bigger design?
Can two people not understand love no matter how hard they try?

The part I hate the most is when I’d see slivers of you trying to love me
What hurts the most is that I refused to see the truth for what it was
No matter what, two people and love, it will never be enough

I am afraid of loving anyone else, it’s a betrayal to you
I saw you with someone and I wondered if you wished it were me
Don’t you know that despite the odds love can make anything possible?

Every night before bed I find myself wondering if you truly meant to be cruel to me
Every moment before sleep I have dedicated to dissecting our love and where I went wrong
Is love meant to be this painful and are we destined to languish in suffering?

Do you think you can find it in yourself to let me know why you don’t love me?
I think I’m now brave enough to tell you why I was so insistent in loving you
Perhaps love isn’t meant to be a peaceful end but a perspective into one’s deepest pain

As I go about my day, I hope to catch a glimpse of you
I hope you’ll recognize me and not pass without saying hello or just goodbye
Love has made me feel terribly lost in a big world
