7 Years Today

My heart has been a balloon just waiting to bust,
but you gave up on me, and you gave up on us,
I'm breaking the chains until we say goodbye,
remember your words, your promises were lies.

I break loose of these chains, and I cut all ties,
your words meant nothing, your promises were lies,
our memories are fading and this door is shut,
these were just seven years wasted, and for what?

You may not remember my words, but hear the tone,
it still rung in your ears when I hung up the phone,
I asked for your feelings, but all you gave was anger,
but tell me, how will it be when all I am is a stranger?

The gifts were dishonest, and the pictures were fake
because I gave you too much trust, I made a mistake,
your day of reckoning will come, and you'll reflect,
but will it be what you want or what you’d expect?

I break loose of these chains, and I cut all ties,
your words meant nothing, your promises were lies,
our memories are fading and this door is shut,
these were just seven years wasted, and for what?

I loved you, but my words can only say so much,
but I'm the only one who sees you're out of touch,
you lied to yourself, and built a wall over your heart,
and you embraced reckless abandon after your depart.

Seven years gone, and five were for naught,
but you picked your battles and you fought,
so I give you seven goodbyes, one for each year,
and one more goodbye for each you're not here.

I break loose of these chains, and I cut all ties,
your words meant nothing, your promises were lies,
our memories are fading and this door is shut,
these were just seven years wasted, and for what?

So just forget my words for your seven year loss,
you know the methods and now I know the cost,
all I have left is regret, and overwhelming shame,
and I wonder, will you even remember my name?
