There were times
When just a day with you
Would make my week.
And there were times
When I thought you
Were the best in the world.
There were times
When nothing mattered
When you smiled my way.
I was yours
And you were mine
All The time
Nothing between us.
You smiled, I smiled
And my favorite place
Was in your arms

And with a snap
Snap
Snap
Of your fingers
You were changed
Changed
And with a clap
Of the hands
You were the servant
You were the slave
The control took over
And I was left
In the shade
Always to blame
Never the same
And you
You were gone.

What did I do
To deserve this?
Was I not good enough
For you?
She came through so
Easily
Pulled the rug out
From under me and you.
There were times
When you walked
Through the door
And I squealed
And there were times
When when we spent
All our time
On the field.
There were times
When you were my earth
You were my sky
You were my reason why.

So tell me the truth
Don't lie
How can she
Mean so much to you?
That you put me through
All of this
And made me
Suffer
Homeless
On the streets
Was I just a piece
Of time
To pass?
No longer
Important
To you?
How do you plan
To undo
To Fix
To repair
All that you've done?

Tell me one thing
Was it
Worth it?
Was it
Worth it?
Lose everyone
You ever had
Leave me
Alone
Angry
How could you
Do that
How
HOW

So this is where
It ends
With me
Missing you
But don't be
Fooled
I miss the you
That was mine.
Not this servant
This slave
And not
Who you've
Become
How
How
Could I
Miss
That?
