Since You Been Gone
Been almost four years since you've been gone
The time just seemed to fly by
A lot of changes happened
Good and bad in my life
So many people took advantage of the space
Came in to cause more damage
Some came with good intentions
It was just more than I could manage
I was so stuck on hating you
For all the pain you put me through
All day long I cried inside
Forcing a smile to hide behind
One time I thought I found
The one who was meant for me
Only to later find out
He was not that good to me
This one time I didn't think
And only wanted to have fun
That fun got me on walking feet
Cause the boy was too damn dumb
Since you've been gone
I haven't been alone
Always found someone
To be there when I get home
But now I see that wasn't always good
It was so unfair to me
To place the blame on someone else
When the cause was mainly me
My life has been drastically altered
Almost ended twice
Never thought no "self-love" could hurt
I know now I love my life
Finally realized that it's all on me
The happiness must come from within
No longer will I place my heart
At the malicious mercy of men.
