So this is love to you?
How can that be true so soon?
This lust is a cruel thing baby
And you're mistaking it for love little lady.
You don't know about commitment
It's a lot harder than it looks isn't it?
I swear this isn't what it looks like darling
Its not just something you can say
Don't go opening your mouth with no intent to stay
One day you'll know how it feels to bleed
Bleed for the only person you felt you'd need
No such thing that's worth it
No such thing as perfect
We've had so many firsts
Lately, too many lasts
My heart now hurts
From dwelling on the past
Whatever you do, don't forget me
My love for you was always true
Maybe one day you'll stop and see
Nobody will know you like I do.
You've slipped my mind a thousand times
But you still linger in my head
I can't imagine your pretty face without wishing I were dead
For a bitter year I've been asleep
Dreaming of reasons
to quit rolling in the deep
What we've had and what we've lost
The past should stay gone
But when I see your smile....
Where did I go wrong?
Did it satisfy you?
Giving in to lust?
Opening up like it's nothing?
Breaking my trust?
Did you know what you were doing?
You should've killed me when you had the chance
Slit my throat while in your trance
This bottle is getting lighter in my hand
And the carpet underneath is being torn out from under me
It's always 1 step forward 2 steps back
Can you promise me I'm on the right track?
It should make you cringe, the sight of my demise
But don't sympathize for me, I'm right where you want me to be
With a gun in my hand, I'm down on my knees
I squeeze real tight and pray I'll be alright
