Tonight I lie in bed
I can ignore the monsters scratching in the closet
The demons breathing beneath my bed
What I can't block out is your words echoing again and again with my head


You are no different than the rest, no better than anyone before
You spit your words oblivious to pain you cause
You never once thought of the consequences
But, you aren't the one to pay when you speak, you never are


I was stupid with you, and all those that came before
I misplaced my trust in you, and opened up
I let myself feel safe with you
But, then you messed up just like everyone seems to do


You called me a liar, because I wouldn't let you force your way in
You questioned me, because I kept myself guarded
But, you took jabs, and made backhanded comments about all the wrong things
Now the walls are up, and you aren't getting back in


I turned to you, and at times even defended you
But, that was all another stupid mistake
I learned one thing well, that's the last time I put myself out on the line
But, don't worry without you I'll be just fine


You made yourself no better when you repeated history
Made me question if I was the one who was wrong
Had me questioning my priorities
And, then made it so had no choice at all


So will you wonder when I'm gone
Will you question why I chose to walk away
No, because you never take the blame
Every fight you create will end the same


Do you not see everyone that is walking away
Diverging their path from yours
Do you not feel any pain with each person that walks away from you
Will you never look in the mirror instead of pointing out everyone else's shortcomings


When I saw your message, your ditch effort
Everything became clear
You don't understand what you've done to me
When I'm gone, then will you see


By making a spectacle of something that was a dull point
You showed me how you really felt
By questioning me, you were saying I didn't deserve what I had
I can assume for shallow reasons


Before I would have fought for our friendship
But, now that I know what you think of me, it's best to walk away
Your not creating a new pain, not by any means
You are just tearing open a new scar


Forcing another painful goodbye
