Seven months is plenty of time,
For me to forget about you,
By now I should be over it,
but thats the hardest thing to do.

Its easy enough to look away,
Pretend my heart is made of steel,
I can smile if I try,
but thats not how I really feel.

I miss the guy I thought you were,
and the hours we stayed up late,
Clinging to eachothers words,
Hoping that the sunrise would wait.

Its hard to believe that everything,
You told me was a lie,
I needed an apology,
All you gave me was an alibi.

Now even after all this time,
It still hurts to hear your name,
Ill wince a little,Β Β then I'll laugh,
I'm used to playing this game.

I want you to think that im happy,
Stronger without you around,
Ill never admit that loneliness,
Is the only thing I've found.

I'm exhausted from holding on,
In my mind I'm pacing to and fro,
You threw me out the door last March,
but I still haven't quite let go.
