I Hope It's A Lie
It's been a month without you,
But it's only killed me now.
And I've gotta say I hate it.
It's so hard not to pick up the phone and talk to you.
I don't know if I should erase you from my memory.
Sometimes it would be nice to forget,
But I don't want to delete the best part of me.
I know you don't need me.
I know you say you're doing just fine.
If only I could say the same.
Yet secretly, I hope it's all a lie.
I don't want you to be okay.
I want you to miss me enough to come back,
And start something good again.
You know, it hurts.
The feelings aren't mutual.
I write to forget about you,
To get out every emotion I have.
But all it does is remind me
That I may have lost you forever.
It doesn't matter that we had something good.
All you can see is everything bad.
I hope you listen to this
And realize what you've lost.
You know-
I know you don't need me.
I know you say you're doing just fine.
If only I could say the same.
Yet secretly, I hope it's all a lie.
I don't want you to be okay.
I want you to miss me enough to come back,
And start something good again.
I won't beg you to be mine again,
Though inside I want it.
Don't throw it all away because of one little thing.
None of this is easy,
It never will be.
I know you don't need me.
I know you say you're doing just fine.
If only I could say the same.
Yet secretly, I hope it's all a lie.
I don't want you to be okay.
I want you to miss me enough to come back,
And start something good again.
