You Won't Tear Me Down

I should have known, all those months ago
that things were too good to be true
when you looked into these eyes
kissed these lips.

It was a honeymoon, happy and innocent
passionate and sweet, stealing your hat
donning your t shirt, hoodie or jacket
but it was never meant to be.

All those days and nights, I spent a
mountain of tissues, eyes swollen
because you never listened,
always made me the bad guy.

But now that it's over, you'll never
tear me down. I may cry, I may tremble
but I will stand back on my feet
more of a rock than before.

I won't regret anything, that I can be sure
we had our fun, our intimate nights
and I'm more knowledgeable than before
more comfortable with myself.

Yes, I'll cry, yes I'll shake
but this is only the beginning
as I'll give more guys the eye
kiss some more frogs to find my prince.

But this I know,
you won't tear me down.
