Would've Been

Don't whisper in my ear, The sweet things you did before, Nothing practical to hear, Just the thick lies, Pouring from your mouth like the blood in my heart, And the sorrow of your good byes,

Don't tell you still care for me, 'Cause I'm a would've been, Should've been, Never was, And never ever will be, Twas the first lie you bled,

Packing up and leaving my side, Which has to be sewn up with the thread of threads, For you made me lose my confident stride, I might as well be dead,

I was turned away at heaven, And locked right out of hell, No where to turn, No one helped me when I fell.

You can't shout in the water, With out getting liquid in your lungs, Which would lessen the pain of slaughter, And kill the joy of release, So look ahead and shut your eyes, Finally save the peace.
