To Whom It May Concern
To whom it may concern
You tried to teach me but I wouldn't learn
I've got a candle for you that will always burn
And I can't sleep at night because I yearn
To have someone I don't deserve but I did earn
And I can't finish our game because it's your turn
I had you but I let you go
Because I never let you know
And now I haven't heard from you in awhile
Haven't seen that pretty smile
You never write me back and you never dial
My house or drive over here and it's only a mile
I guess I'm just shoved in the ex-boyfriend file
With guys like Kyle who are in denial about being hostile
You never meant anything to him
You never meant anything to any of them
You were just some whim
To me you were everything
I even came to see you sing
There was one who cheat you
Another was all deceit too
And even one who beat you
I was the only one who knew how to treat you
It was hard the next morning but I woke up
The day after we broke up
And when I write this I choke up
Because when I spoke up
Nobody answered, you're missed
I remember the way that we kissed
And I remember the day I got the gist
That you didn't wanna see me anymore and now I'm pissed
Punching through glass with my fist
Picking up the broken pane and slitting my wrist
I never wished to shout at you
But I cannot exist without you
But I understand that you didn't want to make it
If you had to fake it
But I just can't take in
Being forsaken
By you and I go back to sleep
And when I awake in the morning I weep
Because I wasn't in too deep
To be shaken but I am because I'm scared
I can't believe that I actually cared
And no one will ever compare
And it's just not fair that I couldn't repair
The damage I caused, I even tried prayer
And I can't imagine that I'd ever want to share
My life with some bimbo with blonde hair
You were there for me and now I don't know where
You are but tell me the truth, do you really not care
If I look on your bed, is the bear I gave you still there
I've still got all the letters you gave me
I've still got the knife that we
Used to carve our initials into that tree
But the only thing that knife gets used on now is me
So I'll just sing along
To my favorite sad, sappy song
Until you tell me that you were wrong
To go so long without talking to me
Even though you no longer belong to me
I need you to be strong with me
