Misnomers

Mon, 07/07/2014 - 22:26 -- shill7

I wake up in the morning trying to forget who you are,

Your hair is in my bed so I guess I haven’t gotten that far,

I’m crying on the inside but my smile doesn’t say that at all,

Although you broke my will, my heart doesn’t even  have scars,

 

Why can’t life just be simpler,

I can’t account for all the misnomers,

 

Even though I don’t admit it I just wanted love,

You just happened to be the easiest option,

Even though I don’t admit it I just wanted love,

You just happened to be the easiest option,

 

I’ll be whatever you need me to be,

I’ll say whatever you need me to say,

I’ll feel whatever you need me to feel,

It was never real,

 

I grit my teeth when I think about what we had,

Cause it didn’t matter anyway,

You sunk your teeth into any flesh of meat around,

How low are your standards,

 

You lied to my face I can tell you once acted,

Cause I couldn’t read your signals,

You spat in my face like rabid animal

How low are your standards,
