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.
