I knew I had to set my priorities straight
(Doesn't mean you left, my life would stop... I just didn't know that someone I never even met in person could hurt me this much. )
I won't let this heartbreak ruin my studies.
(They'd get mad at me if I flunked or get lower grades.)
Even if what happened between us plagued my mind, I kept trying to push through.
(I was trying so hard not to break even more... It hurt so bad.)
We had practice that day.
(Remember when I excitedly told you about me joining the news casting category on our school contest? I was so worried because I thought I wasn't good enough but you assured me that I am.)
I had to pretend to my friends that I was alright but alas, I failed.
(I wore shades that day to cover up my eyes. I was ashamed showing up to my friends and looking like a mess. My eyes were really red and puffy because of me crying, my eye got worse to be honest. It stung so bad the whole time...)
What can I say, they teased me a lot, oh how much I wanted to complain to you.
(They used to call me a "trophy girl" but that time, all they did was play music. Specifically those that can remind me of you... Even teased me for crying as I saw someone that looked like you...)
I cried yet again... They kept telling me that "pretty girls don't chase"..
(But what could they do? It was you that I wanted... You, that I loved so dearly.)
They did their best to try and comfort me as they know I'm not really okay..
(I was just putting up a front that I am... You used to scold me for it. Oh how time flies hon... You're not mine anymore.)
I didn't really want to go home that day.
(I knew I had to face my mom and I didn't want to break down in front of her...)
I tried my best to pretend in front of her that I'm fine.
(it felt so suffocating. How much I wanted a hug that time.)
I continued on with some work.
(I didn't really want to have the time to think)
I had some music on, the ones I used to love.
(I really regret dedicating them to you love, that's how I loved you on my own way.)
With eyes filled with tears I kept working.
(I needed the distraction from my thoughts of you.)
I stayed up and did my homework
(I needed to so they won't be mad at me for crying over a boy and letting my heartbreak destroy me)
I tried my best to continue
(While I was doubting and questioning my
decision that night my love.)
My best wasn't really that enough.
(I cried more than doing what I needed to do.)
Did I really give up on you?
(or was I just hurt enough by your actions and words?)
Did I really think my decision through?
(Even if I did, I kept doubting myself... The thought of me leaving you plagued my mind. I didn't really want to leave... I promised I wouldn't. )
Did you really love me?
(I knew at some point you did... But after knowing you fell out of love, I couldn't really get that thought off my mind)
Was I enough for you?
(They told me I was... They even told me that you don't deserve me. How cruel, right?)
Truth be told, I didn't really want to let go.
(It really was just a random night to the both of us.)
