The damage was done, my heart was shattered,
Tried to pick up the pieces, but they've all been scattered.
I'm too easily attached, too clingy to move on,
Now I'm left lonely, everyone is gone.
You knew the outcome, now the penalty is due,
Which can't be repaid by saying "I love you."
But I'll sip my coffee, stay up through the nights,
And continue to win my emotional fights.
You thought you broke me, but little did you knew,
That I had the strength to give up loving you.
