Not Worth It

When you said goodbye
I know you thought I'd be sad
You thought I'd break down and cry
You thought I'd be mad
You thought I'd hate you
I might even seek revenge
But I didn't cry
And I'm not angry
I'm still smiling
I'm still singing
So now your wondering why...

Well, let me tell you this:
I've been through some hard times
I know what it's like to cry 'till my tears run out
I know how it feels to waste my time with anger
It's hard, and it's hurts
And you weren't worth the struggle
You weren't worth the pain
Not to me, you weren't

Before you left me
I saw you were changing
And there was nothing I could do
Any slight feeling I had for you
You took with you
If I were to hate you,
It'd be a waste of emotion
Hatred would hurt me without affecting you
Hatred would eat me up, and kill me inside
Hatred is just as much of a feeling as love
And having any feeling for you would be pointless
You're not worth it
Not to me, you aren't

So, now you know,
You weren't worth my tears
You aren't worth my ire
You mean little more to me than a stranger
In fact, this will be last time I think of you
There's a change in the wind
Soon, my life will be so much more than it could have been with you in it
My thoughts will be too occupied
So this is the last goodbye
'Cause tomorrow is a new day
I have other things to ponder
And worrying about you would ruin that
And you're just not worth it
Not to me
