Baby Steps (I Don't Cry)

Well you've been gone for months now
And it's my senior year
Your school's in my email saying "you belong here"
I don't hesitate once before clicking delete
This is the only choice in my life that's easy

And I try not to think about anything too long
I haven't been dwelling on all that went wrong
My stomach don't drop when I hear that song
I finally think that I've been moving on

You didn't love me, and you know that's alright
And God, oh I loved you
But it wasn't my time
I went through every phase, it gave me bluer eyes
Slowly made ready for my life to be mine
You don't remember half of July
So I'll force it forgotten, you're not a part of my life
I take a win where I can
Even took a six-month goodbye
But I can finally say
Now I don't cry

I don't think anymore
I trade my personality
To be a little more like the girl you've been loving after me
I pack the photos in the ex-boyfriend box under the bed
It's hard to come to terms, but I've started to accept
And I kept my composure, wrote you a thousand songs
But I finally think that I've been moving on

You didn't love me, and you know that's alright
And God, oh I loved you
But it wasn't my time
I went through every phase, it gave me bluer eyes
Slowly made ready for my life to be mine
Barely made it through any day past July
I hated knowing that you're not a part of my life
Spent six months lying, lying that I'm fine
But I can finally say
Now I don't lie

I take a win where I can, and it took six months to try
But I can finally say
I don't cry
