[Verse 1]
These scars that I bear, I am forced to wear on the inside where no one can see.
How can be whole when I already know you took every piece of me?
I’ve never been this broken before.
And I don’t know how to lift myself off the floor.
How could I believe the sweet lies you said?
Then you stripped me of everything and left me for dead.

[Chorus 1]
And it’s so damn bad tonight
Cause I’m thinking of you wondering if you’re alright.
And I cry cause I still love you
When I know that I shouldn’t after all that you’ve done.
And I feel weak when you’re on my mind.
I should be stronger but I need more time
To forget you the way you did me.
Was it as easy as you made it seem?
Or are you hurting too?
It’s a beautiful thought I like to believe
When I’m thinking of you.

[Verse 2]
This silence consumes me; it drowns out the world; it’s taken ahold of me.
My only escape is when I’m asleep, though sometimes, you make your way to my dreams.
That’s when you speak the words I wish you would have said.
And when I wake I pretend it wasn’t all in my head.
I can feel my heart breaking every day you don’t call.
And soon I’m afraid I’ll feel nothing at all.

[Chorus 2]
And it hurts so damn bad tonight
Cause I’m thinking of you wondering if you’re alright.
And I cry cause I still love you
When I know that I shouldn’t after all that you’ve done.
And I feel weak when you’re on my mind.
I should be stronger but I need more time
To forget you the way you did me.
Was it as easy as you made it seem?
Or are you hurting too?
It’s a beautiful thought I like to believe
When I’m thinking of you.

[Bridge]
And if you ever decide that you want me back in your life,
I hope I’m strong enough to say
That I’m over you, I’m walking away…


[Chorus 3]
But it hurts so damn bad tonight
Cause I’m thinking of you wondering if you’re alright.
And I cry cause I still love you
When I know that I shouldn’t after all that you’ve done.
And I feel weak when you’re on my mind.
I should be stronger but I need more time
To forget you the way you did me.
Was it as easy as you made it seem?
Or are you hurting too?
It’s a beautiful thought I like to believe
When I’m thinking of you.

It’s a beautiful thought I like to believe
When I’m thinking of you…

I wrote this song for my sister. She was (and still is) going through a tough time with a boy she really loved and she wanted me to write something to explain how she was feeling. This was my best attempt and she really loved it :)
