Burned

I know the image of me crying
Is burned in the back of your mind
And every time you see my face
You remember that night
How you caused the tears to stain my cheeks
Along with the mascara
And how you grabbed my arm
Trying to apologize
How I didn't give you the chance
And you tried everything you could

But that image of me fades away
When she kisses your neck
I know you don't think of me then
Because you are happy with your choices
Then hurting me seems worth it
You got what you wanted
And she did too
But I didn't
Because I wanted you

So forget about me please
You are happy with her
I don't want to come between that
I'll be fine soon
She's happy with you
That's not something I want to ruin

What is burned in my mind though
Is that image of you holding her
Tightly in your arms
And how that never will be me
