I've learned... No matter how much you care,
some people just can't care back.

I've learned... It takes years to build up trust
and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned... It's not what you have in your life
but who you have
in your life that counts.

I've learned... The heart can be considered the gates of heaven.
It waits to take in the soul of the one
that will accept all the love a heart has to give.

I've learned... This heart is full of love but is a fragile one.
One that's been broken too many times.
One that has given more than anyone
would think possible.
Yet it still wasn't enough....or....
maybe it was too much.

I've learned... You can't go back to what it never was,
to repossess what you never owned.
No, you can't go back to what it never was,
this is that time, this is that time
when you're better off alone.

Better Off Alone
