Missing Me

Hey. It's me

It's been a while

Since I've seen you

Miss me?

Things are bad here

Sometimes I want to scream
Sometimes I do scream

But no one's here to comfort me now

I'm starting to realize that's my fault

I smile for the ones I love

I need to be the girl I was

If only for them

They deserve that much

But I think they must know it's just a lie

I haven't thought of you

Not recently, till tonight

I've taught myself not to care

And I may just have finally moved on

But I can't

Because I can't help pushing him away

I can't help beating him down

I can't let myself love someone so dark

Someone so much like me

When the nights are lonely

And I can't bring myself to cry

I think of you

I wish that I were back in those days

Those days when you were here

I was young, and you were brave

And we were so in love

We could face anything together

And oh, how we were tested

In the end, it came down to a matter of when

It still hurts that you gave up first

But I've got someone now

As crazy, twisted, unexpected

As it may be

I don't need you here to save me

Cause I'm surviving on my own

Still I know that something's missing

In the spot where you used to be

I think, really, that it's not you I miss

I think I miss me

The girl I was back then

The girl who saved the world

The girl you loved

I've changed, so much

And so have you, it seems

You have a whole new life without me

And I never speak your name

But sometimes, when I force a smile

That I know you would have seen right through

I remember days when I didn't need to lie

Days when I could be strong

When sacrifice meant so much less

Hey. remember me?

It's been a while

And I'm so tired

I need someone who hasn't seen

All the sin and pain I've caused

To that girl

Who used to be me
