Love Songs Are Overrated
Love songs are overated
thats the lie i was fed
They aren't true they just cause pain
is what everybody said
But I didn't want to believe them
I thought they were wrong
at least until my own tragedy
happened to come along
I met someone who was amazing
perfect and very kind
he always smiled and laughed
and had an open mind
I was friends with him for years
though I wanted to be more
I asked him out three times prior
and this would make number four
I walked up to him shyly
uncertain what to say
stumbling over all my words
as my mouth put them in play
Love songs are overated
i now know it's a lie
for when i asked him this time
he did not deny
so we started going out
a simple date here and there
and eventually together started
going almost everywhere
I couldn't have been happier
as life was going my way
i only thought positive things
each and every day
then finally he did what
everyone said he would
he picked for us a love song
as every couple should
but soon hugs and kisses
for him were not enough
he began to reach in unwanted places
and towards me became rough
Love songs are overrated
it seems it may be true
but if only I had listened before
if only I had knew
so finally i sat him down
and we had a talk
i told him to either cool it
or I was going to walk
he seemed to understand
how i felt in full
and things went back to how they were
and life again was cool
but he had other plans
and soon he became a lier
as rumors of cheating started
showing his unwanted desire
so finally i confronted him
and told him i was done
but he said they were lying
and I was the only one
Love songs are overrated
i was so confused
what is right and what is wrong
i didn't have a clue
so i mistakenly took him back
and he offered me a ride home
but i shouldn't have gotten with him
in that car alone
he acted as though all was fine
as he "took me to my house"
but i knew something was wrong
when he suddenly changed routes
i knew something was wrong
so i told him to stop the car
he told me to shut up
and from my house he did drive far
then in a wooded area
he stopped and played our song
something just wasn't right with him
i should of known all along
Love songs are overrated
my story proves it true
i kicked and screamed and tried to run
not knowing what else to do
the night was painted red
as blood's iron scent filled the air
i felt as though for once truly
that no one really did care
i cried and whimpered loudly
while curled up into a ball
i knew from the look in his eyes
that that was nowhere near all
he took my very innocence
along with my life
it known before it happened
when he brandished a large knife
i wasn't ever seen again
my body not soon found
it's hard to pin a crime on someone
with no witnesses around
Love songs are overrated
it's something thats definately true
i just wish a little earlier
that I had really knew
After months of being gone
proof was found that I was dead
a fraction of my skull was found
from my decapitated head
he was convicted after a few years
he got twenty-five to life
leaving behind his baby daughter
along with his newly wed wife
if nothing else i guess
i can take solice in the fact
that because of my pain
pain was what the new wife lacked
the rest of my body
was not ever found
but my family still did make
for me a burial mound
The tombstone simply said
what so many people had stated
the believed date of my death
and the words "Love songs are overrated"
thats the lie i was fed
