One step forward,
Ten steps back.
Want to get over,
             get through,
             get better,
             go on,

Stop missing,
Stop caring,
Stop loving,
Stop wanting,
Stop needing,
Stop hurting,
Stop thinking,
Stop crying,
Stop sobbing,
Stop aching,
Stop feeling.

Want to be:
Happy,
Cheerful,
Strong,
Purposeful,
Energetic,
Kind,
Loving>Did I say stop? (only for him)
Caring>Did I say stop? (only for him)
Supportive,
Concerned,
I want to just live my life without him in it.
Without him in my mind,
Without looking everywhere I go.

How?

I saw his face today.
I love his face.
He doesn't deserve my love,
But I love him anyway!

Maybe it will grow my soul,
I've always disdained the "silly women" who love the "evil men".
Always mimicked cattily,
"But I love him."
Why?-he's not worth your love.
Do you think so little of yourself,
To throw you away on him?

Now, they are my sisters in crime.
Succumbing to the crumbs we are thrown.
Unable to walk away from "our love".
Even when we know, deep,
They will never cherish,
They will never change,
They will never care,
They will never love.

We hope,
We yearn,
We cry,
We hurt,
And when it's all over,
We do it again.

Pitiful.......

You softly breathed "I love you" with a sigh.
I know that you were sleeping.
I know you didn't mean to.
I thought I didn't need it,
I thought it didn't matter.
But it caught my breath and it skipped my heart,
And it made me start,
To write this song
Yeah, it caught my breath and it skipped my heart,
And it made me start,
To write this song for you.
 
I memorized the words, over and over,
I wanted to remember when the morning came,
I thought about the words, over and over.
I knew that I might never hear them spoken again.
        Those words I heard you say,
          Those words I thought you said,
            Those words I hope you said,
Cause they caught my breath and they skipped my heart,
And they made me want
To write this song.
Yeah, they caught my breath and they skipped my heart,
And they made me want
To write this song for you.
 
I wish I may, wish I might,
Hear those words I heard tonight.
If I die before I wake, I won't be sad or blue,
I'll remember what you said and send it back to you.
Cause it caught my breath and it skipped my heart,
And it made me love you, too.
