It Didn't Have to be You

It didn't have to be you, I could have loved anybody
It didn't have to be you
You didn't have to feel pain, I would have hurt anybody
You didn't have to feel pain
I say I don't feel guilty for my feelings
I say I don't regret what we went through
But I don't see you anymore, and it's unbearable
Was what we shared worth all we lose?
My mind came down from that delusion
And now I've come to this conclusion
I know the person I am, I know where I wanna be
So none of this was your fault, it's all on me
I should have known from the start, but now I've learned it too well
Love's not worth losing someone I care about

Mascara drips along your cheek
In tears of sadness and abuse
Whisper sweet nothings to me on the telephone
This color doesn't flatter you
And given all you have to lose, I
Don't see why you refuse to try
To see this from a new perspective
It's working out for me alright
You look up and you ask me to tell you honestly
If you're still in my thoughts at night
And as I bluntly answer no for something like the hundredth time
You look at me as though to say
"I'm in love with you and I'll never let you go,
If I can't have you now then I can wait"
You say you love me to get me to stay
But I don't like romantic threats
And if you whisper more sweet nothings as you cry
I'll leave and never turn my head

I get sort of sentimental around this time of night
Her legs have got me prisoner by the waist but you still got me by the mind
I've tried to let go but trying only leads to more thoughts of your touch and
I'm going crazy because I love her but just can't leave this behind
I've come to realize that nothing scares me more than losing you forever
Do you feel sometimes the same way I feel when your with your man at night?

The Man in Holly's Phone

Holly,
They say that actions speak the loudest but you fill every little silence with your words
You worry that every text he leaves on read is just another way of telling you you're through
You say you're ready to move on but you've been saying that since August
Yet your face lights up every time you get called
Holly, don't waste your energy waiting for men who wont look back until you're gone
Holly,
You've bee a ghost to him for years why go through hell for guys who don't know what they've got
He's dreaming, but sweetly dreaming is the worst, he'll be reminded he's alone when he wakes up
You say you texted him the other day you talked with him for hours and you finally made steps toward making things work
But he's not listening, he won't be taking you to be, no way to know what he's been up to this evening
Holly, don't waste your energy waiting for men who wont look back until you're gone
Holly,
I cannot go another minute in this way, I've got to tell you how I feel
I'm not sure that you should listen to me now I can't be sure that what I'm telling you is real
