Nothing Left

You deny it while you try To give your heart some time It's the only way you'll survive this fate You get roses from your friends And a text from now and again They'll come back, this will pass with the wind and fade Then you hand back the locket that you said they could have Hoping that one day you'll get it back You spend many years of trust And many years of patience They might even tell you that you were their favorite 'Fore they pack up and leave and you Hand back the key to their place How lucky I was to have something That hurt so much to leave But how sad I am To have nothing left of me Try to meet with them again If not their girl, then you'll be their best friend Cause you know them like the back of your hand, don't you If they look close, they will find That you've lost every ounce of your pride They all say that the heart heals with time Is it true You spend many years of trust And many years of patience They might even tell you that you were their favorite 'Fore they pack up and leave and you Hand back the key to their place You won't believe them at first And you'll resent them later 'Fore you try to win them back by doing them favors Then you sit in your heartache and wait for the day When the pain starts to heal And you look back and say How lucky I was to have something That hurt so much to leave But how sad I am To have nothing left of me And my dignity I'm left drinking my whiskey neat Just for your tower of ivory That you sacrificed me for Now you've made one more enemy And you're miserable with jealousy Are these five stages of heartbreak All that you fell in love for
