Since you've been away I've had some time to think about our past

And I wonder why you fucked up something that was destined to last 

I know you say your sorry, get over it, and move on

But betrayal isn't easy no matter how much time has gone

I never understood what you didn't get from me

To make you go and destroy what I thought was too perfect to believe

You could never put into words why you still hung on to her

When I gave you my everything hoping it was me you'd prefer

You selfishly made things so much more complicated than they needed to be

If you could have just stayed, breathed, and planted roots with me 

By now we would have had a strong and mighty oak,

Not this weeping willow whose limbs always broke

Maybe if you loved us both I could swallow that bitter pill,

But saying she means nothing to you makes me confused and makes me feel ill

Why would you throw away your soul mate on just a piece of ass?

You never made the reason clear to me, so I just have to ask

Were we not as special or who I thought we were?

Maybe this whole time with me, was really to get back with her

Maybe I'm the side piece as harsh as that sounds

And you bid your time hoping jealousy would bring her back around 

It makes me feel the past 5 years was all a delusion in my head

And maybe all we really shared was just a great fuck in a broken bed

Because as I look back now I realize we were off as much as we were on 

And maybe my wishful thinking was just a part of your con

I guess I'm still holding onto resentment as I sit and write these words

Because you had a fucking great thing with me, that you never really deserved 

Can someone really fuck up that many times and still win the girl in the end?

I'm not sure how, unless our weeping willow tree learns to suddenly bend

And that would take so much attention, nutrients, soil, and time

Patience, trust, transparency and more than just these rhymes

I don't have it in me to be hurt, even in the smallest way

So for now I can't even say I'll take it day by day

I'll still be here for you like I always was

I just know you, you are what you are and you do what it does

Only you know the true man you plan to be when you return, 

But I can't take a single hurt betrayal, or for you to watch me me burn

I'll be gone in the dark without even a glance 

And you will end up back where you are with no third or fourth chance

So maybe this time, really mean what you say,

Cause the grass ain't greener than the one we used to lay

But If not I'll wish you the best in life and all that you do 

It won't ever be easy but I'll have no choice but to say farewell to you

I'll keep the memories, at least the good ones we made.

And I'll wish God would have heard all the times that I prayed

That I would have been enough to make you see

There's no one in the world other than you, and other than me

I would have given you my world and my everything 

And I would have adorned with pride your wedding ring 

That's now an immature wish I once held dear

Because time has slowly stolen those wishful years

Just remember love is the easy part that any man can do,

It's the choosing her daily that separates the few

I wish I could say you've learned your lesson by now, but the devil has a way to break any vow

So your only hope is to seek God's will to be done in all that do

And pray that maybe one day his plans will once again, include me and you.
