Sweet Sorrow.
Missing you,
is the sweetest kind of sorrow.
Loving you,
is the sharpest kind of pain.
I let you have my heart but just to borrow.
Now you can keep it,
because your broke it anyway.
To say I loved you is such, a mild way to say it,
I love you so much, that every night I'd pray that,
you'd always love me back and that you would never leave.
Now I have to assume that god didn't hear me.
Missing you,
is the sweetest kind of sorrow.
Chasing you,
is the biggest waste of time.
I gave you all of me,
but only ‘til tomorrow.
And now you kept it,
stealing my tears- the perfect crime.
The fact I miss you, is such an underestimation,
the way I trusted you, was such a big mistake.
I don't know what you did, to desserve my dedication,
I don't know what I did to deserve this heartbreak.
But missing you,
is the sweetest kind of sorrow.
That you love her,
I gave you all of me,
is the fact lodged in my brain.
I let you go, because I knew I couldn't follow.
And it kills me everytime I hear your name.
