when I heard you were over me
I wanted to confront you
I planned to swear at you
for making me feel this way
for giving up so easily
for losing feelings in the first place
for not keeping your promise
for listening to cheap rumours and not waiting for an explanation
but I understand that hate won’t mask the love I have for you
that cursing your name won’t bring you back
and you can’t take back the heart you let someone so willingly steal
