I don’t know what’s worse<\/p>\n
That I finally gave in and believed<\/p>\n
Or that you promised you’d stay<\/p>\n
Only to turn around and leave.<\/p>\n
I guess it doesn’t matter, anymore<\/p>\n
Except I’m here, and you’re not<\/p>\n
Surrounded by our broken dreams<\/p>\n
Once so full of happiness<\/p>\n
Now shattered at the seams<\/p>\n
But I guess it doesn’t matter, anymore<\/p>\n
I’ll survive, (it’s kinda my thing)<\/p>\n
Someday I’ll smile again<\/p>\n
Someday I won’t cry for you<\/p>\n
Someday I’ll be strong, again<\/p>\n
And it really won’t matter, anymore.<\/p>\n
