This is for all the broken hearted people out there, you'll not alone

Dear Journal,
So, this is what it feels like
To be the one left behind
To give it all you've got, then find
You've already changed your mind

And this is what it sounds like
Crying on the bed that we both made
Waiting for a sign that you just can't give me
Any kind of sign

I don't want to be here wide-awake
Clinging to a love that can't be saved
Hanging off the edge of every word
That you say

And so, I asked myself, "Do I love you so much
That I'm willing to let you go?"
And at the tip of my tounge the answer was "yes"
But, at the bottom of my heart I'm wondering...
Did I say that?

Sometimes you know I over react
And what I say is not a matter of fact
And I wish that I could take it all back

And you know I'd drag myself through fire at
Your side
And you know the gates of Heaven are surely
Open wide

And I need some sympathy here
And I need someone to call my own
I'm standing in the light of my mistake
And begging you, "come home"

And I know you need some time
To run and hide
But the truth is hard to swallow when you're
Choking on your pride

So, I asked myself, "Do I love you so much
That I'm willing to let you go?"
And at the tip of my tounge the answer was "yes"
But, at the back of my mind I'm wondering...
Did I say that?
Ooh, did I say that?

Sometimes you know I over react
And what I say is not a matter of fact
And I wish that I could take it all back

And I need sympathy here
And I want a love to call my own
I want to take you in the back seat now
And slowly drive you home

I don't want to be this wide-awake
Fighting for a love that I can't save
And hanging off the edge of every word you say
Knowing that it might make me cry
I don't want to be this complicating
You can drag it out but I'll be waiting
I stumbled on "I love you" tonight
But it sounded like good-bye
Did I say that?
