Constant Reminder

You tell me this is for the best

But for the best for whom

It only serves to break my heart

So it must be for you

Why can't you just tell me the truth

At least give me that much

I've heard the rumors anyway

This cliche's just a crutch

Look me in the eyes, and say it

Just do it, and then go

You owe me at least that much respect

I want to know you know

That I'm aware of what you've done

I'm no gullible fool

I want to know beyond a doubt

You know you've been cruel

I want your conscience plagued by it

To have it always there

To know you broke the heart of one

Who really, truly cared
