The Hardest Part

Written during sophomore year.

Empty promises never keep

I cannot sleep

For a lie to another friend

And even when I don’t know why

I was just born to try

To make you feel everything I do

The hardest part is when I see through you

 

And when I see you walk away

I know that I’m the one to blame

I’m sorry I pushed you away

But could you give me one more chance?

I only wish I could explain

I lived for you that yesterday

When life is falling clear as rain

Please try to understand

 

This has nothing to do with you

I’m crazy

I blamed you but I cannot take that back

I squeezed you so hard till you had enough

But that’s okay

Bottled up and watch the glass walls crack

 

Empty promises never keep

But this promise meant so much

And I told you everything

It wasn’t nearly enough

 

And the hardest part is silence

 

When I see you walk away

I know that I’m the one to blame

I’m sorry I pushed you away

But could you give me one more chance?

I only wish I could explain

I lived for you that yesterday

When life is falling clear as rain

Please try to understand

 

The hardest part is knowing that you’re done

The hardest part was when you proved me wrong

The hardest part is knowing that you cared

The hardest part is knowing you were there

The hardest part is knowing that you’re done

The hardest part was when you proved me wrong

The hardest part is learning from the truth

The hardest part is when I see through you

 

And when I see you walk away

I know that I’m the one to blame

I’m sorry I pushed you away

But could you give me one more chance?

I only wish I could explain

I lived for you that yesterday

When life is falling clear as rain

Please try to understand
