The Old Me - Part I

I want the old me back How did I let me slip away? I know it didn’t happen in one day Didn’t I use to be nice? Now my heart seems made of ice I want the old me back What caused this change in me? And why on earth did I not see? It must have happened slow Because no one bothered to let me know I want the old me back I was changing, and not for the best If I’d known I would have confessed Why did I take it for so long? They say what doesn’t kill us Makes us strong I want the old me back He did this, of that I’m sure Now my old life is just a blur How do I change things? How do I start? That horrible man left a hole in my heart

Yes there are some that take a chunk out of us, aren't there. I agree with Yann's comment that time heals and forgiveness if more for your ability to move on then the other party at times.
