Be careful what you wish for
Because the weight on your shoulders is a heavy one to carry
But I asked for this
And now I wish that I hadn’t
When I close my eyes the images inside are hard to bear
These things were passed on secondhand and I wish I didn’t care
But I do.
And it hurts that I wasn’t the one who you told first
That’s not even the worst part.
No, I saved the best for last and the fact that your heart decided to depart
Makes it harder to cope.
Everything you worked for is now just dust in the wind
And now you’ve decided to travel the path of sin
Well,
They don’t call it the straight and narrow for nothing
But I guess that doesn’t matter
And they weigh you down with lies
I’ll be the first one to tell you to sever all ties
And it’s not you who I despise
Nevertheless it still hurts.
So just lie to my face and act like everything is fine
Trust me, I won’t be able to find the time to entertain the thoughts you keep locked up inside.
You are only hurting yourself.
