Instructions For My Destruction
Instructions for my destruction:
Look at my heart
See all the scars
See who I truly am
Peer into my soul
Shattered and broken
See how I’m constantly shifting
Into someone I’ll never truly know
Then run far away
Never to return
For all that you knew
You never learned
Who I truly was
That autumn day
When the leaves were falling down
And everything was falling out of place
But still I pulled back the veil
And you had sworn to never tell
The truth of my uttermost secret
But you ran far away
Cuz you never meant to stay
You told a pretty lie
With those traitorous lips
Sang a pretty song
But when it really mattered
You jumped ship
And I you left me shattered
I’m still falling apart
Never be fully healed
Now I end the story before it can really start
Because the scars run too deep
The cuts bled too much
I guess sorry
Just wasn’t enought
And now all I know
Is to run away from
All who I love
