Burning world

I would have let the world burn for you
Correction, I would have burned the world for you
I would have drenched it in gasoline and lit the match myself
If it meant you’d be happy
I would have etched your name on a brick and tide it to me and jumped in a river
All for you
I would have found the edge of the world and walked off of it
If it meant you’d be happy
If you asked me to, i would have done anything
You were my world and now you're gone
I don’t know what to do anymore
I would have gotten on my knees in front of millions
And begged
I would have begged you to stay
Wait, I did beg
I promised to do better
I promise to do better
Not for you anymore but for the next
If there even if a next

They say fast relationships don't last
Maybe next time I’ll remember to slow down
To stay in that one spot for a little longer
To remember to be better, to do better
Next time I’ll take pictures to remember the good moments
To keep those good memories
Next time I think it’ll hurt a little less
If there is a next time

I stopped eating
I stopped brushing my teeth, and taking care of myself when you left
And I’m not saying this to make you feel bad, but then again I do want you to feel bad
I need you to feel as bad as I did when you broke my heart
I want to have you cry every time you hear my name
Like I do when I hear yours
I cry when I look back at our old texts
I cry when thinking about you, when talking about you
When I hear you talk, or hear your name
Those memories hurt me looking back at them

Next time maybe i wont get so attached as I did with you
If there is a next time
Maybe I’ll push those feelings back
I’ll stop caring so much over the little things
If there is a next time

I hate my feelings
I hate you for making these feelings happen
I hate crying to my friends about you after months of being apart
I hate it
I hate that I still love you after all this, after all we’ve gone through
Us together was just as bad as us being apart
I cried either way

The world around me is now burning without you
I let it burn because i am now without that love you made me feel
I am now drowning in my tears
I hold the match in one hand, gasoline in the other
Letting the flames engulf me
Letting the tears drown me
Without you the world burns around me
Without you I am nothing
I am no longer that happy girl full of love
I am no longer careful
I am no longer that image of myself anymore
I am the burning world
