i hope

you said you had to leave just to see if you could
if you could be alone like every strong woman should

you’re searching for someone you thought might be you
and all you seem to run across is the pain you put me thru
i’ve lost all my patience, and my hurt has turned to hate

i hope it hurts you like hell
i hope it keeps you up at night, crying and wallowing
i hope when you look in the mirror your reflection shakes its head
and you forever burn with regret for the life you gave away

if you love something you have to set it free
that’s just another load of bullshit someone sold you that you just couldn’t see
i’ve lost all my patience, and my hurt has turned to hate

i hope it hurts you like hell
i hope it keeps you up at night, crying and wallowing
i hope when you look in the mirror your reflection shakes its head
and you forever burn with regret for the life you gave away
i hope you cry and toss and turn
i hope you just cannot get past it
i hope that when the weight of your next fool is crushing you
you close your eyes and see my face
looking like i did when i used to love you
