Nowhere But Up

 

You made promises

That you never kept,

Why did you always

Lie to me?

 

Was it to keep me close

Or was it to push me away,

I always loved you

But you never truly loved me.

Are you proud of me?

Do you love me?

All you ever told me was a bunch of lies

And I always wanted to believe you

 

Everything is falling apart now

Where can we go,

There is nowhere but up now

You constantly hurt me

Your harsh words stab my heart

I never understood why,

Why I ever stuck around you

 

You will forever hold a place in my heart

They always told me to let you go,

But I could never give up on you

 

Are you proud of me?

Do you even love me?

All you ever said was a bunch of lies

 

Everything is now falling apart

Where can we go,

There’s nowhere but up now.

 

Your time has been taken,

You have lost all of your chances,

This is no game anymore

I knew you would never come back

But I still held on

 

There is nowhere but up now,

Time to move forward,

There is nothing you can do at this point

You failed to be in my life ever again.

 

I hope you feel emptiness in your heart,

Because I will forever have a hole in mine,

You damaged me,

I hope you learned your lesson

 

“Fat”

“Ugly”

“Stupid”

Your words, to your daughter

 

Are you proud of yourself?

Do you love yourself?

Did you notice your own lies?

 

Everything is broken now,

There is no we, it is you and I

There is nowhere but up for me now
