Love is the opiate of the universe.


It seems like just yesterday
We were in love
I could feel you right beside me
What we had was enough
Distance didn’t matter
As long as you cared
You were all around me
I breathed, and you were my air
But somehow we lost
We crumbled into dust

I gave you my heart
You gave it right back
Its better you did
You couldn’t keep it in tact

It’s okay that you don’t want me
It’s okay that you moved on
I just want you to know I was worth it
Still am, and I’m not pathetic
I’m gonna find someone better
I can get by on my own
I’m doing this for me
Tonight, I’m letting go

You used to make my heart
Skip beats
You used to make my heart
Do crazy things
Before you stomped on it
And broke my wings
I cried so many tears at night
Until I realized
You aren’t even worth the time

I gave you my heart
You gave it right back
Its better you did
You couldn’t keep it in tact

It’s okay that you don’t want me
It’s okay that you moved on
I just want you to know I was worth it
Still am, and I’m not pathetic
I’m gonna find someone better
I can get by on my own
I’m doing this for me
Tonight, I am letting go

How could I have thought
You were strong enough?
How could I have thought
You would try?
How could I have thought
You were strong enough?
How could I have thought
You would try?

I gave you my heart
You gave it right back
Its better you did
You couldn’t keep it in tact

It’s okay that you don’t want me
It’s okay that you moved on
I just want you to know I was worth it
Still am, and I’m not pathetic
I’m gonna find someone better
I can get by on my own
I’m doing this for me
Tonight, I’m letting go

It’s okay that you don’t want me…
It’s okay that you moved on…
It’s okay that you don’t want me…
It’s okay that you moved on…

This was written after being in a relationship for much too long, and realizing I didn't need him to be happy.
