Left Alone: A Heart's Lament

How do I feel this still

I know it wasn't real
Acknowledgment that a past experience or relationship was not genuine.
But when I see you with another I can't help but feel
Seeing the person with someone else evokes strong emotions and discomfort.
Like what the cards im deeled
Feeling like life's circumstances are unfavorable, perhaps like a hand of cards dealt in a game.
I not a man of steel
Expressing vulnerability, not being emotionally invulnerable like a "man of steel."
The place you put me it can never be less ideal
The situation created by the person is far from ideal and cannot be improved.
it's been months you said it once I cant hold it back I can't hold baa ack
Struggling with emotions for months, unable to restrain or conceal them.
it's been months your to blunt I cant hold it back I can't hold baa ack

You said you had one thing left to say
Recalling a statement indicating that the person had something important to express.
I Know if you stay you will betray
A belief that staying in the relationship would result in betrayal.
You can't be with me you can't be with me
An acknowledgment that the person cannot be with the speaker.
Why are you leaving
Questioning the reason for the departure.
Why would you leave me all alone
Expressing the feeling of being left alone.
You leave me here grieving
Feeling intense sorrow or sadness due to the departure.
You leave me with no place to go
Being left without direction or purpose.
Your guilty of thieving
Accusing the person of metaphorically stealing the speaker's heart.
Cause you took my heart left me with bones
Feeling abandoned, with only remnants or "bones" of the relationship remaining.
I know that your leaving
Acceptance of the fact that the person is leaving.
I ask that you leave me dead below
Requesting to be left alone, even if it means being emotionally "dead below."
It's been a couple months since I saw you last
Reflecting on the time that has passed since the last encounter with the person.
But you keeping talking like you're not the past
Despite time passing, the person is still talked about as if they are current.
Your love got me running laps
The person's love has a lasting impact, keeping the speaker emotionally active.
Chasing money got me catching bags
Prioritizing financial pursuits over emotional ones, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Keep on talking to me like I know you
Despite attempts to distance, the person continues to communicate as if the connection is ongoing.
But your just old news let emotions run you
Dismissing the person as old news and suggesting they are controlled by emotions.
That's when you know your run through

Yeah your just run through

You leave me here grieving
