You went on your fishing trip Caught a big one this time, You said. *This one's a bit heavy, Weighed down.* With a sharp tug on the pole, You finally retrieved your catch. Well, what is it?, You asked. You held something in your hand Pulsing and black. *Whatever it is, It's not worth it.* You threw it back into the water, Back into the dark depths. *Let's keep on fishing. I wanna catch a big bass.* They say there's plenty of fish in the sea But you didn't even notice, When you caught my heart. Sure, It was beaten Almost unrecognizable. But it only took you a second, To judge my darkness As impairment, And toss me back to a personal hell You reeled in my heart, And you didn't even know. I'm sorry I can't be The catch of the day.

The Catch of the Day
You went on your fishing trip Caught a big one this time, You said. *This one's a bit heavy, Weighed down.* With a sharp tug on the pole, You finally retrieved your catch. Well, what is it?, You asked. You held something in your hand Pulsing and black. *Whatever it is, It's not worth it.* You threw it back into the water, Back into the dark depths. *Let's keep on fishing. I wanna catch a big bass.* They say there's plenty of fish in the sea But you didn't even notice, When you caught my heart. Sure, It was beaten Almost unrecognizable. But it only took you a second, To judge my darkness As impairment, And toss me back to a personal hell You reeled in my heart, And you didn't even know. I'm sorry I can't be The catch of the day.
