"Do you understand now?"

once i gave you all the love i had
i thought you were my lover and soul mate
but through the course of time
i realised your love was a poison
not the creation of destiny and fate

through your lies and endless games
you destroyed all that we shared
sometimes i wonder as im thinking out loud
were you just using me
or did you ever even care?

now that i've found another
you just can't seem to let go
i contacted you a while ago
to talk to you and catch up
i wanted you to know

thought tis better to hear from me
than to hear from someone out on the street
i didn't crumble when you destroyed our love
no i continued to fight and still do
refusing to give up in defeat

now i do have the true love of my life
and you will not come between she and i
you are the one that drove me to the brink of insanity
your lies, endless games and schemes
kissed our sweet love goodbye

this lady i now have
could teach you a thing or two
like how to be honest and loving
how to treat the one you're with
how to be fair and true

you say you want me back
that you're sorry and love me so much
the last time we spoke i almost fell back into the trap
then i realised i no longer love you
and i certainly don't need your touch

im sorry if this hurts
or if like the bee it stings
but i just felt it time to close this door
put closure to this finally
the end of you and me

if you truly love me
the way that you say that you do
be happy for she and i
she is the greatest love i've ever had
she does love me true

so don't say bad things about her
or curse underneath your breath
you have only yourself to blame for our ending
just consider this here
the funeral to a traumatic death
