To Mistake a Life Lesson For A Soulmate

You’re such a fucking asshole
I just want you to know
That this meant everything to me
That every time we touched,
And every time we kissed,
Every time you held me,
My Earth’s axis would shift.


What did I do? Did I every mistreat you?
I always thought I treated you like the queen
That I always thought you were
So I treated you the only way I thought you deserved
I gave you my breath, my mind, my whole soul
But most of all, I gave you my heart.
The one we stitched back together
After so many people broke it apart


The love I had for you, I swear it was so strong
I swear I believed it could knock God off his throne
But it wouldn’t be the first time I was ever wrong
But instead you just sort of faded away like a song
The songs we used to sing and thinking about that
The memories and joy they used to bring
But now there’s no music, to help me through this


But I know it now, that I can do better than you
So please just pardon my tears, disregard them
Because it’s just the sound of my heart startin'
To harden, and I just want to guard it so that I
Never have to go through something like this,
Through someone like you ever again.
I deserve better than this, and I’m glad I see it.


I know is sounds really cliché, when I go to say
That I hope you’re happy, it definitely sounds sappy
But I really, really, hope you are, with or without me
Because when the next guy holds your hand too tight
When the guy after that doesn’t care if he squeezes you too tight
And when the guy after him is on top of you, defacing what you are
I hope you think of me through it all. I hope I become your permanent scar.
