thank you for loving me
Journey of Love and Regret: Alyssa Ballesteros' Thankful Goodbye
Lyrics
It's strange suddenly not constantly having you by my side anymore
Feeling strange without you constantly by my side, a sudden change in the dynamics.
The loneliness is hard to get used to even though I'm the one who walked out the door
Struggling with the loneliness after I chose to walk out, acknowledging the difficulty of adjusting to the absence.
And I know it was needed
Acknowledging the necessity of the separation.
Cause it's been on my mind for quite some time
Expressing that the decision had been on my mind for a while.
But I felt so defeated
Despite knowing it was necessary, feeling defeated by the decision.
Cause I was waving our future goodbye
Regretting saying goodbye to our shared future.
But all our memories I will cherish forever
Valuing and cherishing the memories we created together.
You showed me what it was like to be loved by another
Acknowledging the partner for teaching what it means to be loved by someone else.
And I thank you, I thank you for loving me
Expressing gratitude for the love received.
Oh I thank you, I thank you for loving me
Reiterating thanks for the affection and love bestowed.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be honest both with myself and with you
Apologizing for not being honest about falling for someone else.
About falling into the arms of another and assured you it wasn't true
Admitting to deceiving both myself and the partner about another romantic involvement.
I felt so fucking stuck
Expressing feeling trapped and conflicted.
'Cause there never was a good time to depart
Acknowledging that there was never an ideal time to end the relationship.
But I sucked it up
Accepting the situation despite the difficulty.
'Cause I believed you were better for my heart
Believing that the partner deserved someone better for their heart.
But you weren't
Realizing the partner wasn't the right fit.
And I hate it
Expressing hatred for the situation.
And I wish we could've been perfect
Wishing the relationship could have been perfect despite its imperfections.
But we weren't
Expressing regret for the imperfections and difficulties in the relationship.
And I hate it
Continuing to hate the current situation.
'Cause now I'm left with nothing
Feeling left with nothing after the breakup.
Still all our memories I will cherish forever
Reiterating the value of the memories shared.
You showed me what it was like to be loved by another
Thanking the partner for showing what it means to be loved by someone else.
And I thank you, I thank you for loving me
Expressing gratitude once again for the love received.
Oh I thank you, I thank you for loving me
Repeating thanks for the affection and love bestowed.
I hope we find peace
Expressing hope for finding peace after the separation.
I hope we build the lives that we wanted
Wishing for the building of the lives both wanted independently.
I hope we find healing down this path that we charted
Expressing hope for healing along the separate paths taken.
And happiness and love
Wishing happiness and love for both parties.
Cause we both deserve it
Acknowledging the deserving nature of both individuals for happiness.
I hope our paths cross so we can say that we made it
Expressing hope for crossing paths in the future, having both achieved success.
