After-Thought

Once again here I sit broken and torn apart
I gave you a shot and all you did was kill my heart

Why did you come back, Why did you even bother
I was nothing but a game to you and look you won guess you were smarter

The pieces of my heart are scattered gone like the ocean's tide
You forever broke me, you took everything you killed my pride

I look in the mirror and haunted eyes stare back, I was so blind to think you changed
A tiger can't change it's stripes, I'm nothing but an after-thought, forgotten in the 
night

Why was I not enough, Was I not what you wanted
Was it all a joke did you laugh at how you broke me

Leave, go don't bother coming back again
I have nothing more to give it is gone forever I am empty

I want to disappear like I was never even here, I am a shell of the woman I once 
was
Nothing rings true anymore All I feel is hollow deep inside

Love is nothing but a joke thank you for making that clear
I guess I owe you that much you ruined our dreams with your fear

I hope your fear keeps you warm at night since you threw us away
And one day you'll look back and see what we was meant to be

I hope it haunts you for the rest of your days cause I know it will mine
No matter how much I want to move on I won't not even with time

Hollow I remain broken inside I know I will be
Wishing upon a star that I had never dared to believe
