Odyssey

Tell me where I'm supposed to be if not with you, Everyone leaves, that's nothing new.
I wonder if she does all the things i would've done for you.
Any and everything to make you smile, My only wish is you'd stayed for a while.
I'm a hopeless romantic, but these days all i feel is hopeless.
I took my heart out my chest and told you to hold this,
Thinking that you knew best.
I don't know why it is that you get to hold a place in my heart, but I never had a place in yours.
I'm tired of the lies you told me, they're just words, No action behind them that  s**t for the birds.
But that's not why I hurt.
You played a part that wasn't yours,
You told me you were here, and that's the only place you weren't.
You told me thanks for the good days,
Picked up my heart and left like it was yours.
Empty, might as well be—
You had some way of bringing the best parts out of me.
Now I'm on this odyssey, tryna figure out what love could be.
Honestly, I'm clueless, really not the type to do this, Not because I'm scared of love, but because I love so easily.
But I can't let you see these things get to me,
'Cause I've cried some rivers, but they flow so peacefully.
Keep telling myself I'm okay cause I have to be.
Wish I could turn the tables, and you were the one chasing after me, But naturally, I'm still waiting on you like this has to be.
