Letting That Go

That door of opportunity isn't useful if it's broken. Close it or open it; whatever you need to do to get that thing off the hinges and replaced by something better, something more sturdy.

We broke up

you didn't want to grow up

I'm smiling through the pain despite the bad luck even though I'd rather get effed up

When you figure it out, don't call me

I ain't your baby

There will never be a maybe

You filled me up with all these dreams

You didn't follow through, am I crazy?

I held on, even when you laughed

Even when you'd leave

I had my heart on my sleeve

My mistake, I didn't really know you

And then I really knew

You'd sucked me in like a tornado

I wish I could get through you
