I think this went too far, too fast
Now the time is running out.
Your truth is all mixed up with lies.
My heart is aching, full of doubt.
I thought I saw something in your smile,
Your words were breaking through my wall.
If only I could have known the danger,
crumbling meant a nasty fall.
The ghost of things that never happened
hang around in my weary mind.
You let me down with a final blow,
just wish those words had not been kind.
It's hard to hate someone who shows care
as they stick their knives inside your heart.
You think that I would have known by now
that to fall in love is to fall apart

Splash splash, blood trickles down,
Big old boots in my heart stomping around.
A child in a puddle, you don't take care,
Or even notice the damage there.
I can barely breathe, and then you say,
"Why is it that you feel this way?"
Little girl, it's all a game.
Don't you know that love is pain.
I like you, I really do,
But you're not allowed to like me too.
What's that coming down your face?
Crying, that's such a disgrace.
Toughen up, you care too much,
But you're so pretty, can I touch?
Remember to avert your eyes.
Don't dare question any lies.
You've still got a lot to learn.
Girls like you were meant to burn.
