Does It Still Hurt?
They always said falling out of love
Would be the hardest part
But they never said anything about driving past the local burger joint
Where we had our first date
Or the park where we used to sit and watch movies on my laptop
They didn't tell me about hearing your favorite song come on
And they never told me how I'd feel
Trying to fall asleep at night without hearing your breathing
Falling out of love was supposed to hurt the most
But nobody told me how much it hurt to be the only one left in love
The only one holding on
And the only one being taken advantage of
Letting go never hurt as much as holding on to something that could never be
Letting go was a relief
As if I was holding on to the very blade
That pressed into my skin
Tighter and tighter until I realized I was bleeding
You were the thorns on my rose
Thrust into my hands until I saw
That despite all its beauty
It still couldn't help but to hurt me
Falling out of love was a decision I made for myself
Because it hurts more knowing that my love was never enough
That there would always be a Someone Else
And a Someone New
No matter how many times you promised your soul to me
Falling out of love
Never hurt as much
As loving you
Actually did
