Wish I had concentrated,
I regret not paying more attention and being more careful.

They said love was complicated,
People warned me that love would be difficult and confusing.

But it's something I just fell into.
Despite the warning, I found myself in love almost by accident.

And it was overrated,
It turned out that love was not as wonderful as people make it out to be.

But just look what I created,
Despite the difficulties of love, I was able to create something positive and enduring.

I came out alive, but I'm black and blue.
I survived the hardships of love, but I was bruised and hurt in the process.

Before you ask me if I'm alright,
Don't ask me if I'm okay without first considering what I've been through.

Think about what I,
Consider the struggles and pain I've experienced.

Had to do, yeah
To get to this point, I had to endure a lot.

Wake up and smell the break up,
Realize that our relationship is over and it's time to move on.

Fix my heart, put on my make-up,
I'm working to heal my emotional wounds and putting on a brave face.

Another mess I didn't plan.
Like many things in life, my breakup was something I didn't anticipate or want.

And I'll bet you thought you beat me,
You probably thought that breaking up with me meant you won and I lost.

Wish you could only see,
If only you knew the truth about how I'm doing now.

I got an "I Heart ?"
I have a special someone or something in my life that I love.

Written on the back of my hand!
It's a reminder that I have love in my life, even after the breakup.

I'd be fine if you'd just walked by,
I would be okay if you didn't stop to talk to me.

But you had to talk about why
You couldn't resist bringing up our past issues.

You were wrong and I was right.
You were at fault in our relationship and I was not.

But I can't believe you made me,
I'm shocked and hurt that you were able to make me feel so vulnerable.

Sit at home and cry like a baby,
I was so upset that I couldn't help but cry.

Wait right by the phone every night.
I was hoping that you would call or text me, but you never did.

And now you ask about you and I,
You're curious about the status of our relationship now.

There's no you and I,
There's no longer anything between us.

Remember what you put me through,
Think about the difficulties you caused me during our relationship.

I had to
I had to move on and start the process of healing.

Realize that we won't make up,
Accept that we're not going to get back together.

It didn't go the way you planned.
Things didn't work out the way you wanted them to.

And you'll know you didn't beat me
You'll realize that our breakup didn't ruin me and I'm still doing well.

When you look down and see
In the end, you'll see that I came out on top.

An "I Heart ?"
I'll still have love in my life.

Written on the back of my hand!
It's a reminder that I'm stronger now and I'm going to be okay.

An "I Heart ?", yeah.
Love is still important to me, even after everything.

Written on the back of my hand!
It's a reminder that I have love in my life and I'm going to be just fine.
