All I Can Do

by Myeisha Shanay Scofield - Scorpio

If I could shed a tear for happiness I would.
I have tried to hold it all in as much as could
Tried to understand why you hurt me 
That is one thing that my heart cannot see
It is so hard to believe that I let it get this far
You lied to me, smiled at me, and you showed me your star
I saw how it shined when you looked into my eyes
But I also saw you breaking my heart with your lies
I let you play me for long enough
Now it is about time you learn to grow up
The way you have acted toward me leaves my smile a frown
And all of my friends cannot understand why I am so down
I thought that I loved you; what a foolish thought
I thought that you loved me but I guess thats where you got caught
Playing games and breaking my precious loving heart
Mommy told me to be careful, but I knew I picked one of a kind
Daddy told me he'd kill you if you ever left me behind
I guess I can laugh now because I am going to laugh through the pain
Because I know that the sun always shines through the rain
Whoever you may love I hope she's good to you
Never better than me, but I guess that will do.
On those rainy days when you feel so all alone
Don't call me, because I'll pretend like I'm not home
I know that you do not understand why I would try to avoid you
But I guess its time you know, that is part of
Getting Over You
Now you can come back anytime if your heart takes a turn
But know that I know and have had long lessons learned
You can try to play me again but this time i'm prepared
To show you the love; you know the kind you never shared
Of course you share it with her and she's a different story
I do not want to love you anymore, so do not try to love me.
I'm glad I got that out of my system because from now on I have to watch my back
For people like you who in love they certainly lack
Be careful how you treat me next time because I will hold that against you
I will not say that I hate you but I know not what else to do
Goodbye my dearest love for now but not forever
If you love me you will learn exactly how to treat me
Good luck in your life ahead my friend even though I will not be there
I always will remember those happy memories we shared
