i’m stuck telling myself
that i’ll be okay
i cant even lie
i know what you want to say

that i’m the liar
the toxic one
the one that broke you
that ended it for no reason

you never looked inside
within yourself
you never realized all the things
that i gave up for you

i broke myself for you
i damaged my health
all i wanted was you
and to stay with you

but stupid me, i gave you too many chances.
