My New Firework
There's something I need to tell you, my love
I don't love you anymore
You never valued my love
Our first official date watching the fireworks on the 4th of July
I used to think that you were worthy, but you're not
I've found someone who is
Someone who lights my darkest nights
Who gives me hope
You'd like to know who it is, wouldn't you?
Because I know you still care, you told me yourself you did
I'm tempted to tell you
To make you feel an ounce of what you put me through
But I won't
Because you have to live with it
The fact that we both have known
Even from the start of this
The fact that I'm better than you
I hope you're happy
I truly do
Because I don't think about you anymore
You don't poison my thoughts as you once did
My new firework does
But I find myself asking the same question with her as I once did with you
Am I enough?
I hope I am
This girl deserves more than me
Those that have tried before me are better men than I
So why would she choose me?
I asked myself that when you chose me
Eventually she'll face that choice
But I'm not that worried
You know what they say
History tends to repeat itself...

True story, but this one is dedicated to my new, nameless firework. Thank you for lighting my darkest nights, I just wish I could tell you that you do.
