This one isn’t really about anyone specific, but I discovered I had a bunch of miscellaneous lyrics scribbled on stray pieces of paper. I wonderered what it would look like if I just put them together. Here’s the result, friends? xoxo
Well, then, baby, you’ve got it worked down to an art
You take what you want for free
While I pay with little pieces of my heart
It’s sad to see the hurt in the truth
When I realized I wasn’t worth enough to you
You just walked away and left me standing here
The girl with a tear-stained handkerchief
And wondering why nothing I wanted went as planned
Will I always have your heart in my hand?
I’ve relived everything you’ve ever said
Looks like it’s not our fairytale in the end
It’s like you knew my every weakness
How I used to be so strong
It’s like you knew everything I couldn’t resist
Starting that day you came along
It’s sad to see the hurt in the truth
When I realized I wasn’t worth enough to you
You just walked away and left me standing here
The girl with a tear-stained handkerchief
And wondering why nothing I wanted went as planned
Will I always have your heart in my hand?
I’ve relived everything you’ve ever said
Looks like it’s not our fairytale in the end
I fell, oh how I fell
And I loved you, oh how I loved you
Guess that just wasn’t enough
It’s sad to see the hurt in the truth
When I realized I wasn’t worth enough to you
You just walked away and left me standing here
The girl with a tear-stained handkerchief
And wondering why nothing I wanted went as planned
Will I always have your heart in my hand?
I’ve relived everything you’ve ever said
Looks like it’s not our fairytale in the end
It’s sad to see the hurt in the truth
When I realized I wasn’t worth enough to you
You just walked away and left me standing here
The girl with a tear-stained handkerchief
And wondering why nothing I wanted went as planned
Will I always have your heart in my hand?
I’ve relived everything you’ve ever said
Looks like it’s not our fairytale in the end

I love this one. I've been there. My ex just left me & it didn't even phase him. It was a very expensive price to pay loving him.
