Maybe I am stupid
Still waiting for you
Praying for the day
When I'll see you again.
Hoping you will say
It was all a mistake.
Maybe I am blind.
Not wanting to see
That you don't care
About me.
Not wanting to know
That you spoke the truth
When you said
It was over.
Maybe I am deaf
Ignoring those who
Tell me to get over you
Instead hearing the ones
Who kindly say
He will be back,
Don't you worry.
Maybe I am stupid.
Still wanting you
Even though you've already
Hurt me more
More than I can bear.
