Stronger

I'm so angry right now that I can hardly write.

Struggling with hunger and no appetite.

Your useless excuses are burning my ears

When all you really wanted was to disappear.

Leaving us here to clean your mess

This sudden responsibility has me missing you less.

But did I really ever miss you in the first place?

From the moment it slipped I wanted you out of my face.

 

You're no different from the ones that you criticize,

Breaking the news without a single tear in your eyes.

I know that I'll be fine. I've been through so much worse.

But to them you're just another example of why love hurts.

 

Mark my words you can stay where you are

I'll be damned if I let you add to these battle scars.

Cleaning up your mess is not where I thought I would ever be

Trying to take care of myself, plus another innocent three.

This is not my responsibility. It's supposed to be yours.

Instead you hide behind promises and slamming doors.

 

I never forgot all the nights that we cried

You saying you were sorry and finding out that you lied.

Still I found it inside of me to love and forgive you

Replacing those memories with the good ones I made with you.

I never complained when you complained about her.

I sat there and listened believing things would get better.

Then I wake up one morning to find it's all been erased

And you couldn't even stand up and say it to my face?

I'm angry without you but I won't dwell any longer

Like everything else this too makes me stronger-
