You swear that I’m done with you—

I swear that I’m not.

We left so many times and it hurt me a lot.

I tend to think that God made us for a reason,

a reason so strong, a reason that I believe in.

I believe in second chances, third chances…

maybe fourth…

But that don’t change the fact that me leaving you

hurt me more.

A thousand needles in my back—

no Novocaine—

fighting, trying to hide the pain.
