No matter how hard I try, I can’t get you out of my head /

You stabbed me in the back and left me for dead /

I can’t believe you have the audacity /

To keep telling me you love me /

Time and time again you push me to my limit /

But you know me, I’m like a dog with a biscuit /

I don’t ever quit / I got that British Bulldog spirit /

I’m getting bored of repeatedly spittin’ / this shit / but I’ll be finished / in a minute /

I’ll tear this sham down / if I get a sniff of a snippet /

Of something going on; I’m renowned / at paying those a visit /

For payback, ‘cuz when I get in the zone / I’ll rebut your actions like a misfit / midget / ‘cuz I’mma clear-cut wizard /

--

“No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one”

--

See, I’d much rather be lonely / than your ‘one and only’ /

That way I’m free / from you hurting me /

Don’t get me wrong / I’ll probably miss you before too long /

But I’m just not strong / enough to keep playing along /

With your cruel games / you should be ashamed /

You shot me down in flames / time and time again /

And every time I gave you a chance to explain / you claimed /

That someone else was to blame / I’m not gonna mention any names /

But it’s not like they forced you into this act of distain /

You’re starting to become critically acclaimed /

And even if they did, it’s all the same / to me.

‘Cuz too many times I overcame / it. Only for you to enflame /

The situation by defaming / me again /

And it’s just a bloody shame / that you couldn’t have proclaimed /

An end to your war game / instead, you had to aim /

Your gun at me, not knowing I just couldn’t take the strain / and the pain /

As your poison infiltrated my veins /

And held my heart in a cocaine / grip. I tried in vain / to abstain /

From reaction, but my willpower has been slain /

I shout and exclaim / my feelings have waned / I grow cold and relax my constraints / then set fire to this gas main / to this container of Butane / and burst into flames /

--

“What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you”

--

All you needed to do was to look deep within your soul  /

I went “all in”, and all you did was fold /

You gave me a good poker face /

Made me believe you’d stick with the pace /

And find the motivation you needed to get this back / on track /

Under control / before the past / could take its toll /

And this relationship got sucked into a black hole / …

You kept sayin’ you could change, but you failed to prove it /

And I have to admit / I’ve lost faith, I submit /

Fuck it / I quit /

--
“Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
And I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore”

--

I know you don’t believe me right now /

But when you’ve got your feet on the ground /

Head out of the clouds /

One day, you’ll realise that I’m right /

And you’ll be glad you didn’t waste your life /

… with me …

You Could Be Mine

[Disclaimer: Contains lyrics and works from Guns 'n' Roses' You Could be Mine. All rights belong to their respective owners, and I stand to receive NO funds from this piece, or its publication. Publication is for entertainment purposes only.]

“ I’m a cold heartbreaker

Fit ta burn and I’ll rip

Your heart in two

An’ I’ll leave you lyin’ on the bed

I’ll be out the door before you wake

It’s nuthin’ new ta you

‘Cause I think we’ve seen that movie too ”

--

You should’ve known that id react like this

Did you think it'd be any different?

That we'd talk over a cuddle and kiss?

You keep sayin’ you’re sorry, but that’s irrelevant

--

“ ‘Cause you could be mine

But you’re way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin’

And your cocaine tongue

You get nuthin’ done

I said you could be mine ”

--

Ive never understood / the shit that you do /

It’s like you don’t even expect me to comment /

Even after all the shit you put me through /

It doesn’t matter whether your intentions were innocent or meant / to be /

You still end up treating me / like I'm summat off your shoe /

Did you ever think there could be a consequence? /

You think id take this? / You got me misconstrued /

You gotta realise there’s nuthin’ you can do / to recompense /

To fix my heart, you’ll need a lot more than superglue /

You’ll need a fuckin’ wheelbarrow of cement /

But now I’ve gotta rely on the great support of the crew /

‘Cuz i’m tearin’ myself apart while you sit there content /…

--

“ Now holidays they come and they go

It’s nothin’ new today

Collect another memory

When I come home late at night

Don’t ask me where I've been

Just count your stars i’m home again ” …

--

You’d be lucky if I walk through your door again /

Ive had enough of your bull shit / tactics /

Your misplaced confidence is insane /

It sends me into a shock like anaphylactics /

Who the hell are you to complain? /

Beware, this could be climactic /

The logic in my head, and the feelings in my heart are estranged /

In fucking me over, you got more than a hat-trick /

Can’t you see my smile is constrained? /

Im intolerant, and you’re surely lactic /

You keep askin’ but I’ve already explained /

For heartbreak you’re not a prophylactic /

My feelings are now more than well restrained /

--

“ ‘Cause you could be mine

But you’re way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin’

And your cocaine tongue

You get nuthin’ done

I said you could be mine ”

--

I trawl peoples life stories on the newsfeed of Face book /

No one cares about their bull shit tales, don’t they see? /

People “like” statuses and pages with no second look /

I change my relationship status to widowed ‘cuz you’re dead to me /

… Log off...

--

“ While you’re breaking down my back

An’ I been rackin’ out my brain

It don’t matter how we make it

‘Cause it always ends the same

You can push it for more mileage

But your flaps are wearin’ thin

And I could sleep on it ‘til morning

But this nightmare never ends”

Heartbeat

“[Enrique]
I can feel your heartbeat
I can feel your heartbeat
He said to me
I can feel your heartbeat
Running through me
Feel your heartbeat
She said


[Nicole]
I can feel your heartbeat
She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat
She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat
She said to me
I can feel your heartbeat
Running through me
Heartbeat
Feel your heartbeat”

--


I can feel your heartbeat /
As you cuddle into me /
Our breathing in sync /
You blink / as I blink /
To me, you’re like a shot of drugs and drink /
You make like you’re innocent, but I know all your kinks /
You ask me if I’m into you. Well what do you think? /
Couldn’t you tell from my smile and wink? /
Why do you think I asked you to link? /
I’ll be your Prince Charming, if you’d be my Tink/erbell,
In makin’ you laugh, you know I’m always have you tickled pink /
I’ll catch you if you fall, rescue you if you sink /
Don’t need supplements with me around, I’ll be your Vitamins /
A, B12, C, K and even Zinc /


[Enrique]
“Maybe it’s the way you move
You got me dreaming like a fool
That I can steal your heart away
I can steal your heart away”


--
[Enrique & Nicole]
“I don’t know where we going
I don’t know who we are
Feels like we are flowing
High above the stars, the stars”

Raining Down on Me

The clock strikes three
It's dark outside
But instead of dreaming
I'm being punished by Pride

Our lights are on
No one elses are
We're the only ones home
The only noises are from the plates you're hurling

As the shards hit the floor
You go for a knife
A motion that can not be ignored
You bury it into my stomach as you look into my eyes

I stare with my mouth open
There is nothing to do but watch
As my life is stolen
From a relationship that was botched

There's a thuf as I fall to my knees
My eyes are locked on yours
It's becoming harder to see
As I end up on all fours

I try to scream but no sound will escape
Cradling my stomach trying to stop the flow
I am getting closer to meeting my fate
Will I get through this? I just don't know

I'm growing weak, starting to lose the will
Will I always be in this prison, or will you set me free?
I can feel my heartbeat slowing to a standstill
As your flows continue, raining down on me.

Shut Up

[Disclaimer: Contains lyrics and works from Black Eyed Peas’ Shut Up. All rights belong to their respective owners, and I stand to receive NO funds from this piece, or its publication. Publication is for entertainment purposes only.]

“ We try to take it slow
but we're still losing control
and we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst
And I'm crazy
For trying to be your lady
I think I'm going crazy”

--

They gonna lock me up, throw away the key/

do their best to keep me off the streets/

you get me going crazy/

and when I’m crazy/

I get dangerous/

‘cuz what you did was traitorous/ treacherous/

right now, I’m playing the role of the insurrectionist/

and I’m feeling like you’re the antagonist/

it was never that way in the past/

the way you fucked me over, wow, that was unsurpassed/

see, I could always bury my head in the sand/

but that was never the plan/ …

--

“Girl, me and you were just fine (you know)
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more”

--

Truth is,

You and I were damn near “perfect”/

but you had to go and sabotage it/

every time I thought we were back on track/

You do it all over again, are you on crack? /

Every time you did it, we broke up/

and every time you fed me false promises, we’d make up/

then I’d come to realise/

Your integrity had, again, been compromised/

when we try work on things, you agree on takin’ it slow/

then you say shit like “when we live together”/

we reach a rocky plain with stormy weather/

and you wonder why the relationship blows/ up…

--

“Why does emotion gotta move so fast
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on taking it slow
So why does it got to be so damn tough
'cause fools in lust could never get enough of love”

--

Sometimes, it feels like you do all you can/

(maybe even get a pad and pen and plan) /

loads of different ways to destroy us/

hurt me / emotionally desert me/ break my trust/

I bet your relationship with **** wasn’t like this? /

So, why is it, with me, you gotta take the piss? /

Is it possible for love to turn to hate? /

Feels like you’re poking me for a reaction, using this shit as bait/

things were so much simpler when you weren’t in my life/

but I found you, let you get close, practically handed you the knife/

You used to stab me in the back/

while wearing that mask/ of sincerity.

As soon as you got the chance/

You left me to die, with no second glance/ …

--

“ Girl our love is dying
Why did you stop trying
I never been a quitter
But I do deserve better
Believe me I will do bad
Let's forget the past
and let's start this new plan
Why? 'cause it's the same old routine!”

--

Now, I haven’t exactly got much time left to deal with this shit/

I’ve always been determined, but this time, fuck it/ I quit/

There’s just too damn much for my head to get around/

In your swimming pool of betrayal, I have drowned/

All this shit, you surely planned/

Instead of saving me and grabbing my hand/

You held my head down until I stopped struggling/

Stopped choking/ for air.

Then you just walked away/

And now you complain? /

Are you fucking insane? /

… Just Shut Up ...

We're in this Together

We’re in This Together

[For V.B]

[Disclaimer: Contains lyrics and works from Nine Inch Nails’ we’re in This Together. All rights belong to their respective owners, and I stand to receive NO funds from this piece, or its publication. Publication is for entertainment purposes only.]

“Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin

They pick and they pull

Trying to get their fingers in

Well they’ve got to kill what we’ve found

Well they’ve got to hate what they fear

Well they’ve got to make it go away

Well they’ve got to make it disappear”

--

Leave everything behind

And look to the future

You never know what we might find

Keep your head up Vicks Tixylix

Whenever you need me

You know i'm already there

And I always will be.

--

“You and me

We’re in this together now

None of them can stop us now

We will make it through somehow

You and me

If the world should break in two

Until the very end of me

Until the very end of you”

--

Take my hand, look into my eyes

You know where I've been, and where I'm going,

I’ll take off my disguise

Show you the real me

We can board this plane together

Do some two-step to dubstep

Be birds of a feather… forever

--

“The farther I fall I’m beside you

As lost as I get I’ll find you

The deeper the wound I’m inside you

For ever and ever I’m a part of…”

--

I’m a part of you, like you’re a part of me

You and I will last for ever

Our connection is rare, like the negative of type AB

We’re in this together now

So take my hand

Exchange parts of ourselves, like the Blood Brothers

We’ll walk into the sunset, just as we planned

--

“All that we were is gone, we have to hold on

When all hope is gone, we have to hold on

All that we were is gone, we have to hold on.”

--

Go Your Own Way

[Disclaimer: Contains lyrics and works from Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way. All rights belong to their respective owners, and I stand to receive NO funds from this piece, or its publication. Publication is for entertainment purposes only.]

--

“Loving you isn’t the thing to do

How can I ever change things I feel?

If I could, maybe I’d give you my world

How can I, when you won’t take it from me?”

--

How can you expect me to love you after all you’ve done?

Do you expect me to forgive and forget?

I gave you everything you asked me to

And yet you force me into a Russian roulette.

--

“You can go your own way, go your own way

You can call it another lonely day

You can go your own way, go your own way”

--

So why don’t you just walk out the door?

Don’t even say goodbye

I’m done with your games

It’s now the time to play the ‘tough guy’

--

“Tell me why everything turned around?

Packing up, shacking up, is all you wanna do

If I could, baby, I’d give you my world

Open up, everything’s waiting for you”

--

Maybe you could tell me why it took so long for you to want me?

I was always your ‘number two’

Now I’ll become someone else’s number one

You had so many chances, each one you blew

--

“You can go your own way, go your own way

You can call it another lonely day

You can go your own way, go your own way”

--

When I see your face, I feel nothing

When I hear your voice, I feel nothing

When you put your arms around me, I feel nothing

When you put your lips to mine, I feel nothing

--

“You can go your own way, go your own way

You can call it another lonely day (another lonely day)

You can go your own way, go your own way

You can call it another lonely day”

--

“You can go your own way, go your own way

You can call it another lonely day

You can go your own way, go your own way”

--

Who?

Who will pinch me to wake me up?

Who will laugh at me when I fall?

Whose breath will I listen for so that I may sleep?

Whose hands will I hold so that I may walk?

Who will be there to stop me walking in the road?

Who is gonna pull me up when I’m feeling down?

Who will bail me out when I am troubled?

Who is gonna turn a smile out of a frown?

--

Who will leave me on these church steps?

For whom will I have these unanswered questions?

Caged In

Caged in this choking stranglehold

Isolated in this glass cell

Light’s off, I’m in darkness

It feels like I’m drowning

Stuck in this never-ending abyss

I can’t breathe, can’t see

Nothing seems to help anymore

Nothing can relieve this pressure

Not cigarettes, drink, or drugs

Even more so, not Paracetamol.

Set You Free

(N.B - This is not about relationships)

 

I gotta walk away when temptations arise/

swallow my pride/

put my feelings to one side/

and do what’s right/

until it subsides/

I can’t remember how many times you’ve made me cry/

I can’t understand how this relationship can survive/ you

Sometimes, I just wanna take flight/

from this mess/

The future’s not orange, it’s not looking bright/

I’m sick of this distress/

I can see myself disappearing into the night/

And I won’t be yours in shining armour/

much longer/

Nor will I stand to gain/

from all I’ve lost/

I hold my head in shame/

‘Cuz I don’t wanna contemplate the end of this road/

The dead end/ I face/ every day/ of my life.

I’ve tossed/ it away. My heart is hardened with frost/

I feel like an impost/er. But I don’t mean to impose/no

I am here tryin’ to compose/

But heaven knows/

When my break’ll be, it may never come, I suppose/

God knows, I’m not a lover/ I’m a born fighter/

I’m a warrior/ But I’m tired of fighting your losing battle/

So I’m gonna throw my rattle/

Out of the pram/

Stop herding me like I’m cattle/

I’m a battl/ing ram/

I’ll tear down your whole army, then your castle/

Set this sham/ of a scam/

Into a blaze of glory/

Won’t bore you with my “Cinderella Story”/

You’ll be at the wrong end of my fury/

You pushed me down and kicked/

Didn’t count on a reaction, but I flipped/

I’ll rise out of these ashes like a Phoenix/

Can you believe this?/

How long will the list/ be/

of the amount of times you’ve dissed me?/

Are you even fucking listening?/

You should get dressed/ in your Sunday best/

Put on your formal threads/ The ones you’d see at a Christening/

‘Cuz I’m about to survive this fire, feeling the burn/

Rise out of these ashes and reflect the Sun, like Edward, I’ll be glistening/

I’m pure and addicting/ affecting/ your subconscious, restricting/ your move/ment like Venom/

abducting/ your heartbeat, advising/ your muscles/ to follow my orders/ adopting/

your body with my mind. Your heart will be aching/ to regain control.

That’ll never happen and you’ll find that to be frustrating/

Your power over me I am annihilating/ You’re finding me tempting/ and alluring/

You’re finding it agonising/ and annoying/

I’m finding it amazing/ and amusing/

You’re assuming/ You can do some begging/ and bargaining/

for your soul. Stop fucking babbling/

I’ll give you your body back when I’m done. Stop bawling/

or you’re in for a beating/

You’re the writer of your own destiny/ Your decisions are under my scrutiny/

So get it done and maybe I’ll set you free…

Resilience.

There are days where I don't wanna wake up/

and nights where I don't even wanna fall asleep/

I start the day popping Pro-plus/

end it popping sleeping pills/

People are always worrying, kicking up a fuss/

get me to let ‘em in, then leave me for dust/

stuffed/ under the sofa cushions like a stale pizza crust/

I gotta do this for me, it’d do or die, all or bust/

If it’s bust/ It’ll be hard to adjust/

left in the garage, like an old piece of trash

gathering rust/

I’m tired of these slags, tramp hussies/

constantly following me around filled with lust/

Leave me alone before I thrust/

A knife into your bust/

My anger is fuelled with disgust/

and I’m about to self combust/

with rage, make you concussed/

I’ll rise out of the radioactive dust/

that you left me in, like Superman does/

right at the start/

of his legacy. For what you’ve put me through, I should get the Purple Heart…/

Kryptonite

I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon

I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!! 

The Truth Behind The Volatile (A Work in Progress)

See, we used to be one

Now we’re separated into two

I was left broken

And alone

 

I sit down and think back

Wonder how we got this way

Look through all our texts and pictures

And just reminisce of how we used to be

 

You have betrayed me in the worst way possible

And you’ve done it more than once

how can you say you love me,

When you do nothing to change it?

 

So, i decided to take a stand

Once and for all

I have had enough of being treated this way

It has to stop now

 

I grit my teeth and close my eyes

As I delete your texts and pictures

And deal the final blow

Delete you from Facebook and erase your number

 

I feel a little better surrounded in loneliness.

But yet, i still feel empty, fragile and broken

I have to hold myself together

To stop myself falling apart

 

I come to realise that if I ignore you

You’d eventually leave me alone

I’d get over you

You get over me

 

I begin to think that my plan is flawless

Until my phone starts to vibrate, I have a text

I check the sender’s number against my memory…

… It’s you…

 

A mixture of emotions fill my head

They flood through my veins into my heart

I feel pangs of longing, needing, wanting

Takin’ over my hurt, upset, pain, anger, confusion

 

You’ve sent me poems

Detailing our journey

But just like all journeys progress

There has to be an end. There always is.

 

Whether there’s a fork in the road

And you’re stuck for a decision

Or you reach a dead end

And the road hits a brick wall

 

As time progresses, people change

It’s all a matter of whether they change together

Or go their separate ways

And grow apart, or worse still, fall away from each other.

 

People say “True love never dies”

And I’m not entirely sure that’s true

Maybe love just changes

And it doesn’t feel the same anymore

 

Love is just one of many journeys

It can start as a friendship and grow

Or begin a relationship

And dwindle into friendship, or just nothingness…

 

What ever path it takes

It’s participants should never

Take each other for granted

Or take advantage.

 

It feels as if that’s just what you did

Take advantage of my love for you

And the trust I had

How could you?

 

It took long enough for me to trust you

Trust anyone again

It feels like you’ve stabbed me in the back, as you looked into my eyes.

Then left me for dead, without even a look over your shoulder.

 

Those poems disturbed something deep inside of me

I don’t know whether that’s a good thing

Or bad, either way,

It doesn’t matter anymore…

 

As my eyes trace their way over the letters

That form into words, sentences, verses

that tell me of our past

A previously hidden point of view

 

Thoughts and feelings that were shrouded in mystery

Spill onto paper

My mind is working overtime

In reaction to your message

 

My words come out nonchalant and angry

i find myself not caring if I scare you

I’m not bothered how “sorry” you claim to be

I find myself believing it’s all another lie

 

What can I do to make you realise what you have done?

Maybe there’s just no point

Since you can’t possibly care

When it’s always the same

(A Father's Pledge) The Edge

I stand on the edge of this concrete mountain
Watching the people below
I’m finding it hard to contain this pain
I just hope it doesn’t show
I need to find something to stop me falling
Keep myself together “for better or worse”
The thought of you keeps me stalling
Knowing I should have always put you first
I remember the day you were born
The day I found meaning for “Unconditional Love”
You are so beautiful, that’s for sure
I know your mum would be proud, watching you from above
Because I couldn’t be any more proud if I tried
I will always be there for you, always be true
you truly are the apple of my eye
I'll always pick you up when you’re down, or feeling blue
i will do my best to be there to watch you grow
When you reach your teens, and beyond drinking your first beer
So maybe I should just let you know
Whatever happens,
I will always be here

The Past

It’s always easy to live in the past

Because that way we’d always last

I stand over the shallow grave that contains our relationship.

You were my drug, I was addicted, constantly wanting another hit.

Like all drugs, I guess you were bad for me

Although it never felt that way, that’s how it would always be,

Well I’m tired of living in the past

Because deep in my heart we would never have last

I’m sick of wondering what could be

If we reconciled, again, but that’s just not what I need

But I know you’re my soulmate

And if you believe in fate

You’ll realise it would have always ended in this way

With us reaching a stalemate

Once i wanted to marry you

Build a life together, just me and you

Make you my official ‘one and only’

Instead I’ll spend the rest of my time here lonely

They say “true love never dies”

And I’m not saying that is a lie

But sometimes love just isn’t enough

I was besotted, but now my heart is concussed

I will never look at another

You and I were supposed to be forever

Like everyone says “nothing lasts”

You could have been my future,

But now you’ll always be my past…

An Epitaph to my Former Self

 

There are times in life

Where the pieces of the puzzle

Fit like clockwork

And you come to realise

That things are exactly

How they seem

And everything you wished you knew

Just starts to fall apart.

It’s not like you want to care

But you have to

When the ones you love

Are in the firing line.

Pride is their biggest obstacle,

And anger is yours.

Everyone is telling you

What you’re seeing is not

Just ‘in your head’

Apart from the villain

Of this chapter

Of your memoir.

You are finding it hard

To hold your tongue

But you have to

For fear

Of the consequences.

But what you are finding

To be increasingly frustrating

Is the fact you are paranoid

That people are looking

Into your eyes

Knowing what you don’t.

Revelling in your

Unwanted and unintentional

Ignorance.

that has been forced upon

Your shoulders

With unrelenting force

By those to claim

To “care”.

In reality

All they care about is themselves

While you are left picking up the broken pieces

Of the broken mirror that is you.

They leave you to fall down

The rabbit hole.

At the bottom

Is a pit of misery

And spikes.

My mind is not immortal

And is about to be

Vanquished.

For thirteen years I have

been a victim

Of depression.

My mind is not immortal

And is about to be

Vanquished.

Trapped in an infinate web

Of lies and deceit.

Caught up in non-political politics.

Stuck between the depression and manic stages

That make up my

Rock-and-a-hard-place.

My mind is not immortal.

And is about to me

Vanquished.

Vanquished

Of all innocence -

Of all guilt -

Of all anger -

Of all pain…

Of you.

Standing on the Periphery

 

I stand on the periphery/

Thinking about my crass inability/

to see through my own stupidity/

not see through my immaturity/

Buffoonery/

Thinking about you brings pain to my biggest artery/

All the techniques in my artillery/

Could not bring you back to me/

See

Comradery/ is one thing, but pretending would be debauchery/

What happened to us? It’s a mystery/

I can’t work out whether periphery ends in a ‘Y’ or an ‘E’/

I contemplate this as my eyes take in/ the scenery/

My heart is breaking/ it requires surgery/

As my strongest muscle grows stationary/

I tip over the edge as my soul vacates me…/

My Number One

I know that I love you, and I know that you're "the one"
I know you're sorry, for all you've said and done,
But I can't get over it, you've pulled a fast one,
So I pick up the gun, and say goodbye to my "number one"...
