I Deserve Better
I've always been loyal
Might be my fatal flaw
Even when it hurt me
I just call things a draw
You never cared for me
I would've died for you
You'd flirt like a player
I did because I loved you
I put up with so much pain
So many things I shouldn't
Now, looking in the rearview
If I could go back, I wouldn't
Because you never cared
You never shed a single tear
I was only your backup plan
You were music to my ear
But then, as time passed
We both grew up a little
I was just your castaway
Someone for you to belittle
And then you want to act
As if you're still my friend?
You lost that right the night
You ignored me, took her hand
I didn't lose you, or let you go
I never had you from the start
I should be crying, but instead
I'm glad you don't hold my heart
He loves me, he loves me not
I'm eternally grateful it's the latter
I'd rather be alone than with you
When you think I don't even matter
I'm over you and all the joy and pain
There's no tears or heartbreak letters
I won't waste time on a waste of time
I don't deserve you, I deserve better
