you were trusted, cheated, hurt, your never telling

you were wanted, left, hurt, your lack of reason

you were cherished, took granted, hurt, your never understanding

you were scared, risked friendship, hurt, your distance kept

they say it gets better, things fade away
it just grows deeper, hurt, the feelings stay

they say it gets better, move on, go forward
it just follows, hurt, your part of me

do you care, can you say, hurt, your brief chatter

do you want, can you show, hurt, your easy air

do you know, can you ask, hurt, your long silence

do you feel, can you tell, hurt, your blank stare

they say it gets better, things fade away
it just grows deeper, hurt, the feelings stay

they say it gets better, move on, go forward
it just follows, hurt, am I part of you
