Tribute to a Boy I Used to Know

I wish the love was true.
But no, you had to lie.
I guess it’s not surprising,
Given you said you "would have died".

I can’t find where the bullet hit
It’s already dug too deep.
I guess I always said
I’d give you my heart to keep

Half a heart wasn’t enough
So I let the other half go
Reincarnate from what was left, for you
Until I reaped just what I sowed.

I don’t see the boy I loved
With a heart so influenced by words
Words of how much our love could be,
Until the moment it burred.

I’m unable to breathe
When you left me standing here,
After all the pain you caused my heart
With things like pot and beer.

I tell you it’s time to move on
Because my shoulders can’t carry the weight.
Now I see there is never such love
Then that which has been born out of hate.
