Past Hopes
I had a place for you in my heart
Until you took it, played with it, stamped on it, and tore it apart
I was happy
You meant the world to me
You didn't feel the same about me
Because if you did, you wouldn't have me feeling so miserably
I'm now over you
But during my time of being down, I missed you
I kept my hopes up that you would come back to me
Cause it made me feel good inside to think of what we could be
I hoped that you would come back to hold me and caress me
Tell me things, and whisper in my ear softly
I hoped that you would come back to me and lay beside me at night
To mix your love with mine and let it shine
I hoped that I can see me in your eyes again
That you can once again tell me that you forever want me as your girlfriend
I hoped that you can be open to me like you once were before
Where you don't have to be secretive and push me away anymore
Now I look back and see how I've moved on
And laugh at myself for having those past hopes
It was sad how I hurted myself thinking you'd come back in my life
To satisfy my life in the blink of an eye
Girls don't like to be alone
But I'd rather us girls to be alone than to go where I've gone
I fell for a man
Who soon left me behind in search of a reason to understand
I soon let go of those past hopes
And took my back from against the ropes
I learned and now know how to stand
And also know not to depend on a man
