You seem to forget

You seem to forget
And there are things you’ll regret
You’re letting me go
And dealing me a hard blow

You think that I won’t survive another fall
But I always end up standing tall
In time I shall forget
All the things I’ve come to regret

I let you into my life again
Knowing how I hurt back then
I assumed you changed over time
But it’s the same old nursery rhyme

I was the princess in your world
The girl you always twirled
Now you’re letting me go once again
But I won’t let myself hurt like I did back then

I’m grown
I should’ve known
It would be the same
I thought that perhaps you’d become tame

I was so very wrong
But I shan’t hold onto the pain too long
Because I did it before
And my heart you tore

My heart’s bruised today
And the pains fading away
Because I’m used to you saying goodbye
I shan’t even cry

You only see the bad
And what makes me mad
Is that I’ll always love you
Despite everything you’ve put me though

I was your princess once upon a time
Now I’m not worth a nursery rhyme
But it’s okay because I can make it through each day
