Where have you been dear?
I’ve asked too many times to count,
You’ve left me stranded out here,
Watching me wallow as I drown.
I’ve seen the light in suffering,
I’ve heard the masses scream and shout,
But it’s clear you never wanted this dear,
You wanted your own version out.
And this is the last time that I swore I’d ever let you in again,
But with every door I close you find a window that’s open!
Cuz my mind is so frustrated,
You know I never wanted this to end,
But it’s clear we’re missing something,
Now it’s time we let the end begin.
So it’s finally over,
Your games are all worn out,
Real love takes trust and patience,
Your foundation’s fear and doubt
If you weren’t still just SO gas lighting,
I’d have thrown your ass so sooner out,
Your every sneaking step is suspect,
I watch as we fall so further south.
And it’d be one thing if the love we shared weren’t so tainted by sin,
Something the lies behind those pretty eyes won’t mend!
My mind is so frustrated,
You know I never wanted this to end,
But it’s clear we’re missing something,
Now it’s time we let the end begin,
Maybe if things were different,
Maybe we’d have them as they’re meant,
But I no longer need this,
And you just need your reasons!
Our life has fallen astray,
I won’t fight to get this to stay,
I don’t need you anyway,
Could you please leave me awake?
I’ve had all the dreams of mistakes,
But I just learned I can escape!
