You Took Everything
By: R. A. Cvetich
The lips that once professed how much he wanted us to last
With one word now have plunged the love we built into the past
Those eyes that once looked at me like I was his dream come true
Now view me as some sad mistake that he must now undo
Somehow that smile harbors such a sting
That tells me he’s about to take everything
Then comes the splitting words I can’t forget
And suddenly I have nothing left
CHORUS
The day we fell apart
You took every shattered piece that was left of my heart
My reason to wake up every morning
You stole from me without warning
You robbed the joy from our memories
All the love I thought could never be
The smiles that gave me butterflies
The adoration in your eyes
And the feeling knowing you were mine
When you left, followed close behind
Now no joy, nothing remains
Yeah, you took everything…
But the pain
The man whose touch and every word confessed how much he cared
Now wonders why he wasted time on every day we shared
The one who claimed I was worth the wait, the one thing that felt right
Has now decided he was better off without me in his life
There’s an ending in his voice that I can’t change
And a look that tells me I can’t make him stay
Time throbs by, and life just soldiers on
Each day the same, but for me, everything’s gone
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge
And maybe this is what I deserve
I said I’d give you my everything
But I thought I’d have your heart in return.
Repeat CHORUS
