Dun Wid Ya

It took me all night and day
To become whole again
I pray I stay…away from dismay
Isn’t it lovely where I’ve been?

Who there is done with you?
I was always remaining by your side
Who there is the sun of rue?
I will always moonlight your shine
Who there is the gun to my head?
Dread is in my head instead…
Clouding my mind, this deafness inside
This deadness inside is where I hide

Done with you
Done with you
Things I’ve been through
Made me this shade of blue
Done with you
Done with you
Things became cruel
When I became the fool
Done with you
Done with you
What you do?
Laugh at me?
What the hell is wrong with you?
What the hell is wrong with me?

It took me hours on end
To cure entirely and endure purely
I am on the mend, the mend
You took advantage of me sadly

Who there is done with you?
I was always remaining by your side
Who there is the sun of rue?
I will always moonlight your shine
Who there is the gun to my head?
Dread is in my head instead…
Clouding my mind, this deafness inside
This deadness inside is where I hide

Done with you
Done with you
Things I’ve been through
Made me this shade of blue
Done with you
Done with you
Things became cruel
When I became the fool
Done with you
Done with you
What you do?
Laugh at me?
What the hell is wrong with you?
What the hell is wrong with me?

Don’t tell me how to write
Because I read the way I want to
Don’t tell me how to dance
When you don’t know my moves too
Don’t tell me how to spell
Because I’m dun wid ya — can’t you tell?
Can’t you tell?
Can’t you tell?
I’m outta my shell
I’m outta your spell

Who there is done with you?
I was always remaining by your side
Who there is the sun of rue?
I will always moonlight your shine
Who there is the gun to my head?
Dread is in my head instead…
Clouding my mind, this deafness inside
This deadness inside is where I hide

Done with you
Done with you
Things I’ve been through
Made me this shade of blue
Done with you
Done with you
Things became cruel
When I became the fool
Done with you
Done with you
What you do?
Laugh at me?
What the hell is wrong with you?
What the hell is wrong with me?

Done with you
Done with you
What you do?
Laugh at me?
What the hell is wrong with you?
What the hell is wrong with me?
I’m done…
War’s won…
Be gone…
I welcome the sun
What about you?
Are you truly done
Being a fool, so cruel?

Well, I am…
That’s what matters too…
I’m a broken damn
Even without you…true…

Awe, J. W, hope all is well. Been a while to read yours. This is quite deep and beautiful in its story. And I agree, with Tom too, sounds like a song :)
