paying it forward
You didn't owe me a single thing.
Not your laughter or your smile
Not your touch or your love.
You were just a stranger walking by me,
But your eyes met mine and we were locked.
So why am I in love alone, while you dangle the key from your finger?
You didn't owe me a single thing,
Why didn't you keep moving?
Now I need you just to breathe,
I hate it. I hate this. I hate you.
I didn't owe you a goddamn thing,
Yet you wear my heart like a ring
Just keep it, I don't want it,
All it does is keep me up, shouting out your name.
All it does it ache.
When midnight is at its darkest,
While the mind escapes it's prison
Remember that I loved you,
Even though I owed not a single thing to you.
Remember that you killed my spirit,
Just to escape the truth of you loving me too.
