I used to beg you,
Beg you not to leave.
You kept telling me,
I must give it time.
That someday you will be mine.
In my simple little way,
I always believed you will stay.
And like a hurricane, in a hearbeat,
You left the ruins of my love at my feet.
What did I have to do to make you see?...
No other will love you like me.
When you chose to go,
There is one thing you should know,
I won't waste another minute ,
I just put too much in it.
Just remember you threw it all away.
You had the choice to stay,
But you walked away.
Hours passes and turn into days,
weeks and months, until I can't recall your face.
You pushed me so far under,
And it makes me wonder,
Was I the water running over cold hard steel?
The only one that could actually feel?..
And a smile broke on my face ,
Because I knew that minute,
While your heart will always be an empty space,
I will always put my everything in it.
Never again will I feel bad for wearing my heart on my sleeve,
Because in the end you have to believe,..
While your heart was locked in a cage,
Mine was taking centre stage.
Now you finally see ,
While you pushed me aside ,
I became the hero I needed
I restored my pride!
