Stopping the lie

I’m waiting. Waiting for the day when I stop believing this lie.
I’m waiting. Waiting for the day when you stop lying to me.
But I won’t count on it.


The first step to stopping a lie: stop listening to it.


I’ve given you so many chances to prove yourself
And you’ve let me down every time.
I just want you too much.


The second step to stopping a lie: stop dwelling on it.


Should I go along with it and act like everything’s okay?
Should I act like I want nothing to do with you?
Should I not reply at all?

The answer to the last question: yes.

I know you won’t come after me if I don’t acknowledge you.
But why am I hesitating? I know why.
Because honestly, I know it’s wrong, but I can’t let go.


The third step to stopping a lie: replace it with the truth.


You’re mean. You don’t care. And you won’t change.
It’s taken forever for that to sink in.
Not because it’s not obvious, but because I don’t want to believe it.

I’m strong. I’m not your type. And you’re not mine.
There comes a time when you realize that you can’t always get what you want.
I tried to make it happen, but failed every time. So it’s not my place anymore.

Why was it so hard to forget you? I know why.
Because I wasn’t trying.
That ends today.


The wait: difficult, but better than the consequences I have faced.


I can’t look at you and say you mean nothing.
You used to mean everything to me.
But I mean nothing to you.

I still care.
I just hope that one day you can make better decisions.
I want the absolute best for you.


The conclusion: we go our separate ways, and I’m happy.


I can’t wait until that day comes.
I can’t wait until I can look you in the eye and say “I don’t want you.”
On that day, I’ll know it was worth it. I’ll know I deserve better.


"You can't always get what you want

But if you try sometimes, well you might find
You get what you need "
