“I'm still trying to figure out how to tell you I was wrong; I can't fill the emptiness inside since you've been gone; So is it you, or is it me? I know I said things that I didn't mean; But you should have known me by now, You should've known me... If you believed, When I said, I'd be better off…” quote by Anonymous

“I'm still trying to figure out how to tell you I was wrong; I can't fill the emptiness inside since you've been gone; So is it you, or is it me? I know I said things that I didn't mean; But you should have known me by now, You should've known me... If you believed, When I said, I'd be better off without you, Then you never really knew me at all! If you believed, When I said, That I wouldn't be thinking about you, You thought you knew the truth but you're wrong! You're all that I need! Just tell me that you still believe!”
