"Because I Don't Love You" - The Truth

As I closed my eyes

I could hear the raindrops sing,

I could hear the wind whistling

“it’s going to be okay”

“it’s all over now”

“it’s going to be okay

 

As I’m breathing

I could hear my heart beating

dug..dug..dug..dug..

“you are free”

“you don’t have to cry anymore”

“you are free”

 

As tears running down my cheeks

I remember of the love that I used to seek

“Because I (don't) love you, that’s why….

That’s why I cheated on you when you are away

I lied to you instead of telling you the truth

because I (don't) love you.”  

 

“because I (don't) love you, that’s why …

I deleted all of your friends’ number

I made you feel crumbled

I made you think I am the only one

That could fix all of your trouble”  

 

As I’m breathing again

I remember that one man

The one that was never a gentleman

The one that used to say,

“because I (don't) love you and you keep me sane”

the one that used to think it was okay

to make me feel sad

to make me feel mad

to make me feel bad

and to make me feel miserable

 

And now,

as I opened my eyes

I smiled as soon as I realized

That it’s all over now

That I can be happy now

That I can be stronger now

And most importantly,

I can be myself now.
