My head is throbbing
To the beat of my heart
Both are too fast
Am I coming apart
I feel I’ve lost you
To another so pretty
That alone here I cry
And wallow in self pity
If only I’d done more
Then you wouldn’t have strayed
But I believed in your love
Up until I was betrayed
So I dry my tears
And stand up tall
I wont let this break me
I will not feel small
So forgive me if I don’t
Stop to kiss you goodbye
I really don’t believe
Those tears in your eye
Now I am free of your hold
That had me believing
If ever we’d part
I would forever be grieving
I face the world now
With a new kind of hope
And the lessons I’ve learned
Have helped me to cope
