Anger is Fleeting

If it would have happened

with anybody else

my feelings would be dusty

the top side of the shelf

but emotions run through

from the day I met you

and I tried to escape

but the song

no matter how hard I tried to stop it

it played

feelings grew stronger

and I kept getting played

in my head

everything going so fast

like I'm at a rave

if I could go back

I would never trade

I would make it okay

I would be more patient

I'd always let you leave

I'd be more sweet

yet firm in what I believe

I want it to go

but I want it to stay

I want you to stay

I want you to lay here with me

where are you going

why am I leaving

who is this coward inside

and why is he screaming

love is the worst

I'm crying and pleading

please stop the bleading

why are you leaving

why can't we talk and reminisce

why aren't you listening

am I too controlling

my heart done got stolen

but you gave it back

with nowhere to stash

it's in my hand and it's beating

how dare you deceive me

I hope you see me on TV

and I'll scream your name

I'll be so angry out in the street

I'll scream and I'll scream

about what you did to me

but you're too busy reading

and it's quiet this evening

he's on his way over

and in the morning he's not leaving

I'm screaming

I'm screaming

like a psychopath in a boiling hot bath

that's steaming

I better start breathing

and you better keep living

no matter how bad it was

or how much I wished

I still am forgiving

all this anger is fleeting
