(Moving On...)

Two long years spent loving you
Before you said you loved me too

You cheated and lied and broke me apart
I am glad that when I left, I took my heart

I had all I could take of your careless ways
Staying gone partying and sticking it to strays

I gave you all that I could possibly give
I think that hurting me was your only motive

To give you power? Make you feel like a man?
Whatever the reason, it was a shitty plan

Funny how things turned out in the end
The purest love given to me comes from your friend

I really didn't mean for it to be that way
Right after we wed, it was me who was betrayed

You couldn't wait to break the vows you took
Words spewed before God that I apparently mistook

When I said them I meant them with every breath
"to love, honor and cherish, all the way to death"

But I could only take so much of your abuse
Doesn't matter what you say, you had no excuse

I have moved on to a much happier life
Your actions will no longer cut me like a knife

I look back now and can't understand why
I convinced myself to believe your lies

You didn't deserve even a little of my love
But I found my way out with some help from above

The shit you dished out to me was truly for the birds
Hell, You aren't even deserving of these words

You being true to me-- I shouldn't have to force
But hey, that's the beauty of getting a divorce.
