Once Bitten and Twice Shy

Once bitten and twice shy
I kept my distance
Until I met you that is
You stole my heart that instance.

I knew you would be different
Not make fun of me like other guys
But no you were the same
As I came to find out the hard way, through lies.

Stole my heart and tore it
Beat it till it was bruised
Stabbed it over fifty times
All you did was abuse.

You used me
To ridicule me
To get your revenge
To make yourself have confidence and see.

What it has led to
The dismissal of me
Cause you see as you do this
I give over to insanity.

You are the cause
So feel the guilt
From my death you shall see
The way the world is built.

So goodbye old friend
I cannot stay any longer
Thank you for the way that you
Have made me become much stronger.

So in the long run
You can thank yourself
I can see that you didn’t really want me
No matter how much you liked me yourself.

Thanks for the insight
I gladly take the leave
I wish you were what I thought you were
And I was not so easy to deceive.

I still love you
Don’t get me wrong
But here’s the thing
This isn’t a song.

This is the real world
You did this to yourself
Your screw up buddy
There is no help.

So long, goodbye
You can find me in my bed
But by the time you find me and read this
I will already be dead.
