Now You Know
We were so young and in love.
Stupid and forever sprung.
Blind to what the passerby saw.
You were perfection in my eyes.
Til' this very day I still cry.
Hear a song on the radio tears flow.
Once in awhile the lyrics catch me off gaurd.
Then all at once the flood gates open.
Now you know,
I still think of you.
Always You'll haunt me.
In the most bittersweet way.
I know you've moved on.
Found the "love of your life"
In my lifetime I have no vacancy.
I'm never going to love as hard again.
I wasn't lying when I said,
Without you love is dead.
I'm not willing to try anymore.
No one is worth my time.
Now you know,
No one holds a candle to you.
I've only wanted the best for you.
It turns out it was someone else.
I've only wanted happiness for you.
What I had to give wasn't enough.
I tried to be your white knight,
While you were Superman to everyone.
Watching from afar,
You never felt like you were mine.
Standing quietly on the sidelines.
Feasting on scraps a precious morsel of your time.
Now you know,
I've always felt alone.
Yearning all the while,
just for a few minutes of your time.
It's not your fault,
Maybe I'm just too needy.
You're a people person..too kind.
Conquering everyone elses problems not your own.
Don't take your new love for granted,
be there for him constantly.
I pray his patience doesn't wear thin.
Because you deserve to be loved again.
Now you know,
I hold no grudges.
No hard feelings.
I wouldn't have changed a thing.
I had to move on and set you free.
We accomplish more alone I believe.
I finally love myself and see,
what you've always saw in me.
Life is too short to be unhappy.
Hate only spawns more hate.
I'm sure your doing just fine.
I've always wanted the best for you.
I've learned so much,
I know now what I do and don't want.
Love really has taken me to the brink,
I used to leap first, now I stop to think.
Now you know,
You still cross my mind.
Daily, I wonder how are you.
I pray for your happiness.
I'm just the selfish one,
It's just in my nature.
Though I was willing to sacrifice,
Anything just to keep you in my life.
We were so young and in love,
Built a house with no foundation.
Thought we could live off love.
But reality doesn't work that way.
Now I have to look out for myself.
There I go being selfish again.
It's a dog eat dog world out there.
I'm not willing to let anyone else scale my wall.
If you didn't already guess,
for you I just wanted the best.
Unfortunately It wasn't me.
I'm too fucked up mentally.
I don't want to be tied down.
I'm not looking for completeness,
Cause' I was whole all along.
Happiness comes from within not a man.
Now you know,
I'm doing just fine without you.
Experiencing new things.
Driving around and getting lost.
If you love something set it free.
That's what I had to do.
It was selfish of me to keep you.
When it wasn't the best for the both of us.
If you ever look back,
Don't look back in hatred.
Remember the good times,
Don't make anyone else pay for my crimes.
Now you know,
I hope all your dreams come true.
Remember you hold it within you.
You can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Without you,
I've been able to do so much.
I'll always cherish what we had long ago,
Now you know.
