Until I Met You

I had never felt such a way,

Until I met you

 

You cracked me apart and

Made me into something new

 

Your eyes, your lips

The way your fingers danced

 

When you played me piano,

Placed me in a tranced

 

Little did I know that

Was your siren song

 

Luring me into your arms

As I followed along

 

But now we've grown older

Then we drifted far apart

 

If only I could go back in time

And stop it from the start

 

Maybe I wouldn't lay awake at night

Wishing I could make us feel right

Forcing myself to see the light

Instead what I feel is contrite

Instead I feel my airways, so tight

My brain is toxic, so let it ignite

 

Burn every bridge I ever built

Set it ablaze and walk away

 

Let the fire consume me and

Turn to ash what I cannot say

 

When we first crossed paths

There was a moment I was sure

 

That you would be my forever

That our love was pure

 

But then you cracked me open

I was raw and exposed

 

Slowly I lost myself

I started to necrose

 

I was holding myself together

Using glue that didn't stick

 

When you decided to attack me again

With your ***** tricks

 

You said you had met them

And that you loved them so

 

So quickly you gave up on us

So quickly you did forgo

 

When you left me, you left scars

Scars I'm afraid to show

 

And now you're talking about them

Your new lovers and how

You had never felt such a way,

Until you met them
