In my head
Things are different
Things left unsaid
The path I led
I watched you walk out the door
I didn't try to stop you
I told you I didn't love you anymore
If only you truly knew
The coldness that has gripped my heart
Time has stopped
Pain is ripping me apart
In my own web of deceit I am caught
I wanted to do what everyone said was best
I listened to everyone else
But I don't love you any less
The cards I am now playing I myself dealt
You packed and left
I let you go
You took my soul with you leaving me bereft
I didn't let you know
I am so lost
I watched you plead for me to tell you it wasn't true
Now my heart is covered by frost
I played the shrew
Turning my back
As you cried
Giving the final blow to the attack
Inside weeping because of my lies
I wanted to scream
To open up
Tell you everything
To tell you of my love
Instead I built a wall
Separating my heart and mind
I began my own downfall
All because of my damn pride
Three years to the day I seen you and my tears fell like rain
Your lovely wife
You and your kids playing
Living what could have been my life
Pain like a knife slicing through my soul
Ripping me in two
The years of longing taking their toll
Breathing became so hard to do
Your revenge is so sweet
But you don't even know
I watched you crumble and bleed
So long ago
Now I am doing the same
You scored the final kill
You got the checkmate
While my life is at a standstill
You lived on
While I dried up inside
Became withdrawn
Despite my lies
You learned to love again
My greatest mistake
Was your greatest gain
I wrapped you as a gift for her to take
She was smarter
She didn't make you leave
She was brilliant, clever
So she achieved
What I so badly wanted
But didn't hold on to
I am now haunted
By the taboo
Of ghosts from the past
The day I let you go
Because of my lie
I couldn't know
It would be the day I died inside
That once that door shut
I would crumble
Never again to love
I would tumble
Into my own black hole
The light of day dispelled
In this hellhole,
This tomb my soul used to dwell
