Let the past stay buried,
Leave behind the ones who made you feel small.
Don\u2019t look back for those who gave you every reason to crumble,
When there\u2019s someone now who lifts you up,
Who accepts you, scars and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forgive the ones who left,
But don\u2019t forget how they let you fall.
You reached out, you apologized, you tried to fix it,
But nothing changed they still chose someone else,
While you stood alone, waiting, hurting,
Feeling like love was a game you\u2019d always lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if someone new sees your worth,
If they take your pain, your mess, your flaws,
And call them beautiful,
If they love you unconditionally,
Hold them close.
They\u2019re the one who deserves your everything,
Because they gave you reason to believe again,
To see life in color once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t go back to the ones who only see your value,
Once you\u2019ve built yourself back up,
Once you\u2019ve found someone willing to hold your heart gently.
You are not something tossed aside,
Waiting in the trash for someone to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there\u2019s someone who loves you now,
Who brings peace to your storms,
Stay with them. Give them all the love you have.
The past has had its chance; let it stay behind,
For the one who stayed, the one who lifted you,
Is the one who deserves to hold your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
