Swallow your pride
Look me in the eye
Tell me that you’re sorry
Just don’t lie.

Admit that you were wrong
Accept that I am right
Know that I’m not sorry
Now that your cold heart’s in plain sight.

So when you come back
Grovelling at my knees
I’ll tell you you’re pathetic
And that the world agrees

If you don’t come back
I’m better off alone
I don’t need you here
From your betrayal I’ve grown.

I’m happy without you
Like I never was before
I will not go back
Because I know there is more.

More to what you
Made me out to be
More to what you
Made others see.

You’ve no longer got
Any sort of hold
Over me
And I will not be who you told
Me to be.

How do I speak
When there’s nothing to say?
You cry and you shriek
While I walk away.

There’s nothing else
That I can do
To stop myself
From hurting you.

Because we’ve hurled
Nasty words
You broke my world
Into thirds.

Me, you
And the fights
So what is true?
Have we reached full height?

Have we stopped growing
All I know is that
You’ve stopped hoping.
So then how do we know where we’re at?

We’re moving
On.
Moving forward.
But what do you do
When you can’t catch
Up?

When you fall behind
Lying alone
In the dirt
Your shoes are
Muddy.
Your clothes are
Ragged.
Your body is
Worn.
You
Can’t
Go
On.
