You Ruined Us

There was so much on the line
I wasn't ready to give up any time soon
You built these walls of lies
I bet you didn't know that they'd come crashing down half past two
You ruined us and I won't let you stay
The fire burning in my eyes will soon fade away
You made some other plans
I wish I hadn't seen that you were gonna sleep with another man
You thought you were so sly
But my defenses triggered and now I see through your lies
You ruined us and I won't let you stay
The fire burning in my eyes will soon fade away
Just how could you break my heart in two?
There's blood on your hands and I hope you can't sleep again
There's a thousand different ways this could have gone
But your selfishness got the best of you
When there's a fire I will fight it off
Because love doesn't run for the nearest exit
You ruined us and I won't let you stay
The fire burning in my eyes will soon fade away
Just how could you break my heart in two?
There's blood on your hands and I hope you can't sleep again
You ruined us
You ruined us
You ruined us

I Can Live Without You

I don't know now where I'm going anymore, anymore
Ever since you left me and he walked you out the door, the door
I was blind but now I see that you're not here right in front of me
Was he worth it?
All the pain that you put me through is so insane
Don't you worry 'bout me I'll be okay
The way you left me like this makes me want to say
I can live without
I can live without
I can live without you
I don't know how my heart is beating anymore, anymore
Caught you cheating on me as I fell to the floor, you whore
I was lost but now I found that I'm better off, you lost this round
I have moved on for the best
Now I'll find my heart within my chest
Don't you worry 'bout me I'll be okay
The way you left me like this makes me want to say
I can live without
I can live without
I can live without you
So don't come crawling back to me
When he leaves you alone again
So don't come crawling back to me
When he breaks your heart again
So don't come crawling back to me
'Cause I can live without you

Twenty-Three

We were so young not knowing what to do with all our love
I was so naive, so blind to see that you were just a thief
You stole everything I have ever loved and ever cared about
So I will fight to pick up every piece of me you left behind
At the age of twenty-three
I fought a war I could not see
Though no blood was ever shed
My soul's left fractured and dead without you
without you
It's been some time since you've rang my line
Why haven't you called me?
There was no "goodbyes" or "I will see you soon"
It was all too sudden
You left with him and now I'll never see it any other way
Was I not good enough?
I wanted to do everything to make you stay
At the age of twenty-three
I fought a war I could not see
Though no blood was ever shed
My soul's left fractured and dead without you
without you
Now is my time to shine
To break the mold and be more than fine
I'm so sick of crying all night
Over someone who never did me right
So now I'll sing this song tonight
To let you know
To let you know that
At the age of twenty-three
I fought a war I could not see
Though no blood was ever shed
My soul's left fractured and dead without you
without you
without you
without you

My Side of the Bed

It's been twenty-one days since you last spoke to me
Yesterday would have been our anniversary
I woke up from a dream that day
That felt so real I was okay
You said "I love you, you'll always be mine"
But when I reached out to feel you there
Empty sheets lie cold and bare
'Cause you're not there and you're never coming back
Now I know why my bones cry
'Cause my eyes tell my heart what it don't realize
I need to break you free of my head
'Cause I still only sleep on my side of the bed

The Days After

The days grow darker
Seasons change and bring in summer's end
Our love was brighter
But everything that was green turned to grey
They say the nights are the hardest
But waking up without you kills me most
My head can't even start to fathom
Why you'd stand aside and just watch me burn
The days after Fall are the hardest ones of them all
For Winter sets right in
The cold is lonely and he's my friend
The snow gets higher
I forfeit myself to your blame
My worth sinks lower
And I hate you for it all the same
Why is it that I'm always chasing
Down the one's that want to run away?
It leaves me feeling lost and stranded
Searching for myself in the ash and flame
The days after Fall are the hardest ones of them all
For winter sets right in
The cold is lonely and he's my friend
The days after Fall are the hardest ones of them all
