Being alone
by Ryan Garwood

I listened to you
like a good boyfriend should
you told me again and again
that all of your life
people never understood
never really accepted
who you were
you said you cried
and your self esteem was so low
you just wanted a friend
as I listened to you
I cried on the inside
to think of you sad
as I fell in love
loved all your faults
adored your quirks
and you left me
you broke my heart
I didn't know what to say
I couldn't sleep
I couldn't eat
I don't know why you left
I think you're just scared
that somebody loves you
for who you are
you don't know how it feels
you don't know what to do
so you push them away
it's easier to be alone
but I still love you
I still love you
it breaks my heart
but I still love you
