Now that it's all said and done,

I can't believe you were the one

To build me up then tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.



What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far, was in way too deep.

Guess I let you get the best of me.



Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you;

I’m better off without you

More than you, more than you know.



I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces

And spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.



You took a hammer to these walls,

Dragged the memories down the hall,

Packed your bags and walked away.

There was nothing I could say.



And when you slammed the front door shut,

A lot of others opened up,

So did my eyes so I could see

That you never were the best for me.
