Sometimes you can't
find any justice anywhere,
oh sure you run into
a little here and a little there.

Just like the heat can
push you out into the cold,
leaving your bones
feeling bought and sold.

We all need love
and I'm no exception,
I can't stand still,
no not for rejection.

All I wanted was a little magic
I didn't want no voodoo,
I didn't want to crash and burn,
not like you do.

I'm plugging my ears
to stop the noise and
******* the wound
to rid me of the poison.

I have to roll up my
sleeves and dig in the dirt,
try to repair the damage,
now that wouldn't hurt.

So what's so hard
about blowing you off,
leaving me alone to
collect my thoughts.

But it feels so lonely
knowing we'll be done
I'm a little lovelorn
after the setting sun.

I grew so tired
of all your lies
and to take them as truths
just wouldn't be wise.

Still it's a matter
of setting thing straight,
no more will I jump in
and take your bait.

Instead of missing you I'm just going
to get used to not having you around,
I deal with it better that way or
at least that's what I've found.
