He Would Have Been Mine

Someone call the referee, someone ring the bell

I might just get placed in chains tonight for redifining Hell

 

Let them lock me up and throw me in a bin

I'd rather that result than letting this demon tear me from within

 

Let him and her witness me as clearly a woman scorned

There's a blaze erupting in my heart making my vision blurred

 

He does not know that hell hath no fury...he is fortunate that I am bound

For I am more than capable to set fire to this world and burn it to the ground

 

Give the winner a trophy, a medal, let her celebrate what she's won

The first greatest love I ever had and I plead my tomorrow never comes

 

Somewhere in my heart I know he won't be the last but why does he captivate my mind

The way he has been so distant from me lately, why was I so stupid, so blind?

 

The nerve he has after stepping on my heart with all his force

To ask of me to share my love with another as if he had no remorce

 

Cruel thoughts of jealousy flashed in my mind without end

But the love he has for her actually belongs to me and he soon will be condemned

 

He was my love I wanted him badly

And even though he told her of us she took him from me gladly

 

If it were possible to meet him I would have done so long ago

But we were seas apart even so I knew everything of him, what did she possibly know?

 

She was cowardice and insecure thinking I would stand in their way

She was right though I planned on hunting her down until she would either leave or decay

 

If all he cared about was human touch

Then honestly his feelings weren't much

 

But if I just had the money then I could have closed this distance

And upon meeting him I would have claimed him in that instance

 

If I had been there, if distance and time weren't so unkind

The man she's loving today would have been mine...
