"Upside Down"

A long time ago,

You held my heart in your hands

It was yours, and so was I

All I wanted was you, your love

Still, you couldn't see


Darling, you took my light

You poisoned me

All I saw in myself was someone terrible,

Someone unworthy of anything

Now, I know better

I know what I am

Something so beautiful, you had to take away its glow


I wish you the best

I hope you never have to feel what I've felt

Hate

Bitterness

You turned me upside down, but trust me, I'm better now

I can walk and smile again


Never will I look back

I'm better and stronger now,

And I don't regret a thing

You were all I wanted, but didn't need

I was attracted by your flames, and nearly got burnt

From my mistakes, I've learnt

I hope and pray you'll do the same
