-
What I want to say is how much you hurt me,
How much you betrayed me when you left.
What I want to say is how much I miss you,
Even though you were never with me.
What I want to say is I hate you,
But we both know that’s a lie.
What I want to say is how much you destroyed me,
As well as making me who I am today.
What I want to say is how much I love you,
Even though you were never mine.
What I want to say is silenced by a smile,
As you walk hand in hand with her.
