This time I won’t break
This time I will let go
I won’t stagger and I won’t take
Every punch you throw

I won’t let you back in
Just to throw me away
I know that I can’t win
Because every time I let you stay

In my heart where you don’t belong
I’m not so certain anymore
I was better off before you came along
This is not how I adore you

Each time I cried
Because you lied
The originality of the situation
Only added to my oblivion

This is the last time I’ll write of you
The last time I have to think about you
Because I know you never think of me
And to me now,
You are dead
