Learning how to love you

[I wasted so much time
learning how to love you
when I should have tried
to learn to love myself

I wasted so much time
longing for our venue
leaving me behind
I finally can accept]


looking in the mirror
I see ghosts of the past
our lovely family dinners
that never meant to last

you scratched my wounded soul
and left me there to cry
on the cold embellished floor
I’m thinking of tonight


[I wasted so much time
learning how to love you
when I should have tried
to learn to love myself

I wasted so much time
longing for our venue
leaving me behind
I finally can accept]


Ask me if it's hard
to feel so incomplete
a missing piece of heart
I still see in my sleep

tell me what you think
I know that you will lie
I’ll never let you in
you broke me way too many times


[I wasted so much time
learning how to love you
when I should have tried
to learn to love myself

I wasted so much time
longing for our venue
leaving me behind
I finally can accept]

And I don’t care
If you will vanish out the air
I hope you’re well aware
Oh darling don’t you ever come back here
