Apart

And I forget it all with my back up against this wall I don't know where to start to pick up the pieces from when we fell apart I've got my eyes trained on you down the barrel of this gun it may not be real but I pull the trigger just for fun I can see the look on your face as the bullet enters your chest that look of disgrace this is how we play games in the old west And I forget it all with my back up against this wall I don't know where to start to pick up the pieces of this shattered heart you shout and you scream and I pretend to listen you threaten that you'll leave as if that will get me in submission I hold this toy gun ready to fire the bullets won't do much but they'll prove you a liar as you fall to the ground so melodramatic the blood covers the floor a world monochromatic and I forget it all with my back up against this wall I don't know where to start to pick up the peices from when I ripped you apart it seems you were telling the truth all along but I feel no remorse if you won't give me the answer I'll take it by force you leave me one more time and you’ll never come back because slaughter with words isn't a crime and baby that's a fact you've got no more leverage and your mouth starts to hemorrhage the lies keep pouring out and still you spout more and more and more until I slam the door you're never coming back you'll never come back you're gone
