It's not as beautiful as it seems,
being here alone

there used to be an echo in my voice,
it was always you
everything i was feeling
seemed to be what youwere thinking and feeling too,

i'd breathe in,
and you'd breathe out
always in rhythm

problems came
starting small and continuing to progress
we didn't need each other,
one more night of crying herself to sleep

and they always say
what does not kill you
only makes one stronger

as i wander to the right
you went to the left
i kept my head high
i believed that i was strong
my head and heart were free
and i was told now i was destined
to correct my every wrong

because you were my biggest mistake
you'd brought me down
i had to have the strength to crawl back to the top
or what was believed to be the top

they told me i was more than that
more than the things i believed myself to be

she hears no more i love you's
what would be the difference
his were only fake
spoken to secure her,
to make her stay

she's become weaker
but also stronger
and every once in while
she finds herself looking at him
looking down when she should be looking up
