I Miss Me

written for a friend

It wouldn't have been so bad
if it hadn't been so good
Or if you could have ended it
the way a man should
But you showed me the sunshine
then you left me in a fog
You took me to the mountaintop
and then you pushed me off.

I knew the risk was high
I was not too blind to see
You said, "I want to share the world with you"
I said, "You're not ready for me"
But like some silly little school girl
I surrendered all for love
'Cause I never felt like this before
I never gave so much.

Now it seems that I'm disposable
So easy to forget
Like an empty bottle thrown from your car
As you move on to the next

Now I feel just like a tree in winter
that's lost all of its leaves
And I wonder will I bloom again?
Will I ever see the Spring?
'cause I miss the way I used to feel
the woman I used to be
But I don't miss you anymore.
I miss me.
I miss me.
