You blocked me
Shut me out
Shut me down
Left me lying
On the ground
I don’t know your reasons
I don’t know why you claimed to care
All I know is I miss you here

And I hate myself
For loving you
Still
Can’t get away
From the memory
Of you

You kept me company
When the world was bare
We shared laughs and looks
And talked of our favorite books
I’m rolling in the desert
Braving arid winds
Whispers of your name
I can hear them begin

And I hate myself
For loving you
Still
Can’t get away
From the memory
Of you

You kept me close
Cause I am your enemy
You let me see enough of you
That I would want in
Your plan was thought
Well in advance
You didn’t have to do anything
But make me think there was a chance

And I hate myself
For loving you
Still
Can’t get away
From the memory
Of you

So quiet now
Like many times before
Women give everything
Including a goodbye door
No words to reconcile
Has left me feeling hostile
Towards you

And so I’m casting you away
Like a newspaper of yesterday
I’m breaking mental chains
They’re keeping me insane
Your silence says more than all those kind words
That stroked my ego
And stoked my heart
And now the truth is revealed
You played me from the start
Like a guitar short a string
I opened my arms
And let the evil in
So now I’m opening my eyes
And all I’m seeing is a witch with water eyes full of drowning souls
I am complete now
I’ve lived out my role
Sniffed out the supporting cast
The lesson is learned
Good things don’t last

And so I’m abandoning you
Leaving this ghost behind
After all
It’s about damn time
I’ll live with your scars that have mangled me so
But the fact of the matter is that I have a good soul
Somebody else will find me
And see the world in my mind
Take me in
And give me a good place to hide
Until it starts to feel like home
Then true love will blossom
And I’ll never let it go
