Even If

Even If

I would be lying if I said it didn’t hurt

It hurts for a moment, then the pain and tears disappear

They're barely there

With the passing of time,

I made up my mind

To not allow a soul to damage what's not permanent

If you don't mean it, don’t say it

I'm not asking for broken promises

Or beautiful words you think I want to hear

You can keep them, save them, my dear

Guess it doesn't matter no ways,

The truth always came

Just at the right time, even if I didn’t see it

The journey's shortening, I am learning

Feel like I can say I'm invincible

It's always something, just that something

Curiosity and entrancement turn to a joke

Knowing it won’t forever be like this

Everyone grows on their own

But the clocks keep running

I can see clearly

The past is what haunts the most

No one said give me the world

No one said make me your girl

I'm just searching for one thing

It's pretty simple

No you can't, reprimand me

For doing what I choose to do

Not when you're pretending

Guess I know how to be cold too

At least in your eyes,

Watching as tables turn

There remains a difference between you and I
