You Lost Her

You look around searching for her

She's there, but not

Where did your lively girl go?

She's gone...

Do you wonder when you lost her? 

Was it when you made her wait every day, always late?

Was it when you dismissed her dreams?

Was it when you made her feel used?

Was it when you asked her to hide? 

Or when you said you were ashamed of her?

Was it when you said loving her was a burden?

Or when you said her emotions hurt?

Was it when you said her emotions hurt you

Or when your tears caused your anger

Does it really matter when you lost her?

'Cause you already did.

She's still there, hanging on your words

Clinging to you like your lifeline

But now, she pretends nothing hurts

She hides her sadness and emotions 

From you, when you were supposed to be her solace

Wondering where she went wrong, what more to give

Tired of hurting, when she says she's hurt, she hides it all 

Away from the world

You lost her when you didn't tell her how you felt

When you didn't tell her you loved her

When she felt like she was never enough

When she felt she had to prove herself to you every day

She'd never say this to you

But... you lost her...
