Retraced all my steps
Still empty handed
And all my effort
You take for granted
I kept a distance
Just to feel stranded
Bereft, forever passive aggressive
All of my time is spent
Questioning your intent
Vision disorient
Collapse and cave in
It's taken a toll on my self esteem
Absent of words when I try to speak
You tread on my heart like it's yours to keep
I can't express anything other than apathy
Lately I've noticed that I don't want to be with you
I'll keep my head above the water
If I don't sink from my own shoes
This year I'll
Pick up the pieces that you left
And stand up on my own again
Even if it kills me
You chew me out when I let you in
It's not your fault but it never is
And despite all of my effort
I'm gonna bide my time
Move on and let go
Let go
I've spent every waking moment
From the summer that you left
Wishing that we never met
It was the first time that I felt it
A hole cut in my chest
Now every time I think of you
Feels like I'm digging out what's left
Will I ever
Pick up the pieces that you left
And stand up on my own again
Even if it kills me
You chew me out when I let you in
It's not your fault but it never is
And despite all of my effort
I'm gonna bide my time
Move on and let go
Let go
