Picture myself
Standing tall at 23
Just a young kid moving through the world
That craved the love so desperately – desperately

I was brought into a world
That gave my heart its very blood
But very slowly, that was taken from me

All I wanted was you to believe in this world with me
But you chose to leave me
You left a hole in me
All I wanted was you to believe this was meant to be
You left a hole in me

I dreamt about my future so meticulously
Every second etched in stone
Turned my hunger into gold

Then you broke me
Burned my whole world down

All I wanted was you to believe in this world with me
But you chose to leave me
You left a hole in me
All I wanted was you to believe this was meant to be
But you chose to leave me

That's when I felt all the rain on me
Pouring the weight of my insecurities
But you chose to leave me
You left a hole in me

That's when I lost myself – I believed
You hated all of me
All that I stood for, all my beliefs

Then I saw – a beating heart
Then it all set in
That I meant nothing to you

That's when it all set in
I know what is best for me
You caused me nothing but sorrow
A bitter taste in my mouth
A sorry state of someone hurting inside
And choosing to lose the ones who care

No matter where you are
You had a way to control me
But now my system is rebuilding itself
Just let me be

All I wanted was you to exist with me
All I wanted was you to exist with me

All I wanted was you to exist in this world with me
But you chose to leave me
You left a hole in me
All I wanted was you to believe this was meant to be
But you chose to leave me

That's when I felt all the rain on me
Pouring the weight of my insecurities
But you chose to leave me
You left a hole in me

You left a hole in me
You left a hole in me
