It was so much easier

To hate you when you didn't care

So much simpler

To love what wasn't there

As soon as the life

Was forever gone from you

I promised myself I would

Never again know what to do

From a friends revelation

I myself will always blame

Can't believe I'm the reason why

Tears always follow your name

CHORUS

I'm running to you

But you're getting farther away

I really don't know what to do

How can I make you stay?

You were silly

But you were always there

You were calling for me that night

But I just didn't care

I figured you were apologizing

Just unknowingly slowly torturing me

Little did I know that you had

Finally opened your eyes to see

As soon as you knew the truth

You called; I didn't listen

Now I forever regret that choice

That most horrible decision

Can you forgive me

For all my mistakes

I love you so much

CHORUS

Liberty set down her paper and pen and felt her stomach gurgle. Standing, she got up and reached into her pantry for the instant oatmeal.

Most would think being compared to an intolerable mush is insulting. Not me.
