Snip goes my heartstrings,

You cut them with your lies.

I didn't think you'd be the one

To cut me down to size.

You made me feel so small and lost,

Like I was nothing, worthless, used.

You took my love and poisoned it,

My heart has been abused.

Do you feel better about yourself

Now that I feel so wrong?

Was that your goal all this while

To bleed me to make you strong?

You still don't know just what you did

To my heart, my mind, my soul.

You lifted me up, then shot me down,

Your presence took its toll.

Now it's anger that I feel

When you avoid looking my way,

Because you'll never know or care to guess

At all I have to say.
