To every girl who wants words backed up with actions. To every girl that
fell for all the lies only to find themselves alone in the end. To every girl
that gave her heart away only to have it shoved back in her face. To
every girl that has faith that " tomorrow will be a better day." And it will be.
Here's to all those girls who used to be his number one. The ones who
waited all night for him to call, only to check the caller ID the next
morning and be disappointed. The ones who made it through that bitter
break up, dried your own tears, and moved on with your life, only to have
him walk back in it months later like nothing ever happened. Those of you
who cried on the first day you talked again because you knew exactly
where this phone call was going. The ones who listened to him say, I
only want to be your friend, one day, and the next, listened to him say
how much he loves and misses you. We deserve something, and this is
our tribute. Here's to the ones that took him back, hoping that maybe this
time, he was different, hoping that maybe people really do change. We
listened to our friends tell us that we were stupid for even thinking about
giving him another chance, caught crap from our parents and even snuck
around to see him for while. We went through the great stage with no
fights all over again. We started this out thinking it would be just friends,
and ended up falling in love with him again. We wanted nothing more in
the world than to hear him tell us he loved us too, that even though things
were bad in the past, they would be different this time. And when we
finally heard it, it was like we were dreaming. This is for us. Here's to the
ones who believed what he said, sat around all over again waiting for a
phone call that might come in a few hours, or a few days. Here's for the
tears cried and dried all over again. We wanted so desperately to believe
that he was really busy, he couldn't possibly call us at that moment, or
even that he fell asleep early.
We trained ourselves to believe the lies because we wanted to believe we
had found the one for us. We learned to settle for someone who didn't
treat us the way we should be treated. Here's for the ones who did their
hair and make up and put on their prettiest earrings, only to hear him say
that he couldn't see us today. The ones who never believed it when
people told us there might be someone else. We just couldn't believe that
he could do this to us again. This is for those great girls, who loved him
more than words can say, and took him back no matter what happened
last time because they couldn't bear to look back on their lives one day
and wonder "what if". The ones who hoped he would
realize that he deserved better, that he deserved us. When he said that
he loved you, but he was in love with her, he didn't mean it. This is for the
ones that held on to something that was never there to begin with. This is
for us girls, who somehow managed to get him to forget about her, and
get him to tell us that he was in love with us again, only to have him tell
us three weeks later that "things were going too fast, he needs time."
Here's to the girls who couldn't cry to their friends because of how stupid
they felt. The ones who held it all in when things came crumbling to
pieces again. This is for the ones who couldn't bear to even tell their mom
what was going on, for fear of an "I told you so." The ones that could just
tell that they had made a mistake ever allowing him into their hearts, and
their dreams again. We knew that we deserved better the entire time,
that we deserved a guy who would call when he said he was going to,
one that would come see us whenever he got the chance, one that would
really care about us. We just wanted the one that we loved like that.
Here's for the ones that finally realized that he never gave a crap about
them. Here's for the time that he broke your heart again. This is for those
days spent trying to hold back the tears, and the tears that turned into
anger, then disappointment. Here's for us girls who finally realized that
we deserve better. This is for those confusing days, when you miss him,
and want nothing more than to hear his voice, or feel his arms around
your waist. Stay strong, and remember that relationships are like broken
glass, sometimes it's better to leave it alone rather than try to put the
pieces back together and get hurt. Remember the times you cried, and
how long it took you to even be able to look at another guy like that.
When "your song" comes on the radio, turn the station. When the day
comes that he realizes what a mistake he made and tries calling, turn
your phone off. When he tries coming to your house, don't answer the
door. Think of the broken promises, and the lies, the manipulation and
the tears, the wasted moments and staying up all night wondering where
the crap he was. Think of how your heart used to jump when your phone
would vibrate in the middle of the night, and how it fell to your stomach
when you saw it wasn't him, and realized that once again, he hadn't
called when he said he was going to. One day, you'll find a guy who's
worth all the tears, but he won't make you cry. You may think that you'll
never care about someone like you did that guy that you always ran back
to, but you will. It's gonna hurt like crap, and it's going to need time to
heal, but the point is, it will heal. This is for those girls, who fell back in
love with a guy, only to get hurt all over again
