The Courage I Gained
So you wrote me a letter
every word held your feelings
I threw it a way
as a method of dealing
With all the things that you said
and all the things that lost meaning
They held no value to me
Of my mind, I was cleaning
You'd think that I'd care
the idea tickles your soul
Your words they don't phase me
But in my heart there's a hole
Because you left me one day
and this letter says you're sorry
Though what I know, what I feel
and what I saw tells a different story
It tells me your cruel
and you lie and you cheat
you'd say anything to get your way
Even cause my own defeat
But come time you'd whisper
explain that it was a mistake
You were drunk, you were high
and you didn't mean it that way
Only 'cause you don't want it to end
So The torment goes on
Continues to spiral
until I admit I was wrong
Wrong for taking you in again
Wrong for saying those three words
so that you would manipulate
And in my heart it would hurt
So when you sent me that letter
I made it clear that from this day
I never wanted you back
And that you should just stay away.
