How You Left Me


You did me so wrong Without a hint of emotion I believed you for so long Which made my love for you deeper than the ocean When you told me you loved me for my personality I never would have thought I was falling in a trap You showed me the power of mental brutality Now my life has no direction; I need a map I'm wandering around with no destination, And all I can find is numbness and depression within myself. The numbing of all this pain takes me on a vacation It allows me to put up all of my emotions away high up on that shelf This morphine in my brain is only a temporary sanctuary But this method will help me hold out for the rest of this fight I know that once the numbness is gone I'll want to put my heart in a statuary I will want to blow my heart up like dynamite. I just don't understand why you told me all of those heart-warming lies And then had me come crashing down like this. You left my heart screaming out cries Since I'm so far down I'll just go get a knife and do some things to my wrist.
