A million heartbreaks in the word “goodbye”.
I stand in the shards of my shattered affection
And I know that nothing can be done.
You'll move on alright. You always do.
You'll make new friends. Different friends.
A whole new world, and I'm not in it.
Maybe you'll think of me, sometimes.
But it never affects you like it affects me.
I promise myself this will never happen again.
Head down. Don't talk. Don't let anybody close.
For a while, it works. Lonely is safe.
But lonely also hurts.
I know I can't keep people out forever.
Some demand to be let in.
And I'm tired of being lonely, so I let them.
But they won't stay forever. They never do.
They can't. Life is more important.
I see the damage coming, but yet I let it live.
I'll make it out alive. I always do.
The memories of you hurt sometimes.
But I can't bear to be alone anymore.
Sometimes people are worth the pain of loving.
