Cold Shoulder

I know there was a time
When your words didn’t just flow through my head
And up till recently
I never wished that you were dead
I don’t know what I forgot
But it’s vanished from my brain
And resentment took its place
Because hate is all that remains

I remember you using words
Like trust and loyalty
They kept me close to you
And they kept me from misery
But now these same words just cling to me
I don’t believe the things they say
So its time to say goodbye
Because my love has gone away

Without a doubt my mind
Is clouded with regret of this
I’m feeling like my life
Has found something to miss
But my conscience will not fool me
Into believing you again
I’m just as shallow
As the grave I buried you alive in

So keep on living in
The shell you like to call the world
The fantasy you created
When you were just a little girl
A happy place where bad things
Happen to bad people alone
And self-righteously dismiss
The idea your heart is made of stone

How did I ever fall
For a stranger such as you
A year and three months
And I still don’t know the truth
Once you had left my life
The spell you cast erased
And now I realize
You took away the thing that can’t be replaced

Watch out below
I’ve lost control and now am landing hard
If by miracle I don’t die
I’ll be so badly scarred
To never trust someone
With my heart because I know its fate
Will be the same
And before long I’ll just be full of hate

Tell me what you want from me
Tell me how you want it to be
Tell me and make no mistake
I’ll teach that heart of yours to break
