Ruined

I told myself I wouldn’t miss you
And I don’t
Promised to have no regrets
So I won’t

I wanted to move on
But I couldn’t
Asked my heart to love again
But it wouldn’t

     You’re ruined it for everyone
     No one compares to you
     They don’t meet the standards
     They can’t fill your shoes

     You’re ruined it for everyone
     I don’t trust anyone
     I have no faith in love
     I won’t allow anyone close enough

I swore I wouldn’t miss you
But I do
