"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

Story of Us Part I

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
I used think one day my place would be a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
Far away from you and your horrible sneer.

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Wish I could say it's just a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And it's so sad to know that
It's not killing you
Like it's killing me.
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Next chapter

How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me

But now I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I lost my mind,
And how you took advantage of me
And how I made you lose your pride when you lost me
You'd be so scared to read the ending
It's a great story,
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I guess the only thing to do is scream our story out loud.

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And it's so sad to know that
It's not killing you
Like it's killing me.
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
I guess you don't know every glare
And every slur
Turns into a chapter.

One day,
Someday,
You'll regret this.
One day,
Someday,
You'll be all over the shelves.
Our story will have my name on it,
And everyone will know
How you let me down...
In the story of us.

The end.

Inspired by The Story of Us by Taylor Swift.
