Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier
I stopped at the bus stop today. I saw you laughing as he had an arm wrapped around you and yours were around his waist. I saw the way he made you smile and I couldn't help but think how you moved on fast. I guess I can't say anything because love works in mysterious ways. I just want to know if you thought about him, saw him, behind my back when we were together.
Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do
I couldn't deny the way my heart ached and fluttered all at the same time when you walked in the little bar behind you, both of your smiles wide and full of happiness. You never did smile out in public with me... the most I would get was a small smirk.
Did I not try hard enough? Was I just not funny? Or did I not make your heart beat erratically like you did mine.
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new
I know I hurt you but that wasn't inevitable. You hurt me too but that's what happens, nobody is perfect. But I promised to water the flowers sprouting amongst the glass of your sharp edges until the soil became hard and cold, and the flowers could no longer grow. I'll still be here. Loving you. Until the cold takes me too.
Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you
Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?
Everyone said it would get better.. but I've heard that my entire life. Even from you. It's like nursing and old wound that just keeps festering.
I know you're happier. I can hear it in your voice, your steps, the way you do things. It radiates off of you like you're wearing it.
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you
But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
I know I was happier with you
Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you
I sat down at the end of the table, next to Tony and Carol. I watched from afar as you and Steve interacted fluidly. Moving together as one person instead of two, knowing the move the other was going to make before moving yourself.
I wish I could say your happiness makes me happy... it doesn't. All it does is hurt me but I welcome the pain. I enjoy feeling numb because I'd rather feel nothing than constantly weep over the hole in my heart.
I'll be here when he messes up and even when he doesn't.
Because I still love you.
