A Hidden Wall, You Already Built Between Us
-
In this home
This lonely home
This horny causing shit hole
Where I rest my head
And never get laid
I wanted to stay in this place
To have a room to fuck in
But, I guess I never needed it after all
Wipe my brain off the sink
But you can't
Don't even wonder how I am
What am I doing thinking of you?
Brainwash my own heart
To stay away from thee
I'm not looking for some action
Well
Not from you
Since you'd rather pretend you don't need it
Just to keep away from me
I don't mind
__your lying
Excuses are excuses
Every lady needs one
If they wanna get away from me
Smacked up silly, is my mind
For thinking you could be mine
I'm ashamed of my over confidence
I really am
I feel guilty
Yes, I do
And when I say "I do"
At thee alter
I'll be glad it's for some one else
And not you
Stupid things
Said out loud
Makes this my fault
That, I can see
Sharp twists, here and about
Breaking my heart
That I regret having
"I'm throwing my love for you away"
I know I say that everyday
But that's only cause I have to maintain
__doing such a thing
I think I'd have better chances
With a whore
'Cause, to you, I'm a bore
You won't find your place my heart
Since that's not what you're looking for
And that's fair
The weather is a shade of hot
The ground I walk on is yours
But you're in a car
So we won't meat on the streets
You've let me go with "hello"
I don't need to be told to leave you alone
Rejection is nothing new to me
I'm so used to it
__that this story is getting old
I fold my cards
Seal my heart
Stitch it, and lock it
Not looking back
Not even at your ass
Not even another glance made quick
To even your tits
So keep your boundaries up
I'll stay giving up
I know when I've failed
I've got a life to suffer
I can panic all by myself
I don't need company going under
I'm not giving you even a hint
That you are a topic
I have a right to this
And I reserve that right
And since you've already said "goodbye"
__in your heart
I have a right to react to that
__this way
____or that
I am alive for now
And what I feel is none of your business
Since me being repulsive to you
Is none of mine
