Exes Be Xed Out

Innocence burned in flames The moment you called me names Free me from the pleasure and the pain You’re driving me insane with your brain You’re a handsome liar… I’m on fire with your desire #feeling all alone again #Refrain from driving me insane Feeling frightened of what I’ve become I’m feeling numb, but I’m as strong as titanium Sleepless at night…flourishing in the light Everything’s black and white…let’s fly a kite Strength and hope I need Pulling you up like a weed Texting you for too long Too many times, I’ve written these songs Nothing helps me belong In these arms that are cold and heartless…don’t write all my wrongs On your paper… It has no flavor On your paper… It has no flavor Hit me with your best shot, stupid ass You think you have the highest class? Try me, try me, try me Cry a river for eternity I will be your angel on high If you be my devil from below I’m alive when I’m shy I’m extrovert too, you should know Out of difficulties, grow miracles I must’ve talked to you a million times Shut it with your angelic angles I’ve made far too many rhymes And did so many crimes This time… This time… This time… I adore you now I love you somehow Fantasies bloom when you walk on by I am as curious as your one and only fly I’ve died an infinity times… I am as shiny as dimes Dine with me with my failures Be with me in my endeavors Dine with me in my successes… XOXO and bye-bye to my exes Dreams and nightmares fill my night, But…shatter me like glass You’re as fake as a flimsy façade Get a ride on my past masquerade What lies ahead? My past, present and future I drop dead instead You loved her, I’m sure In a blur, you’re my cure… But, I must endure… The pain that’s impure The therapeutic music numbs the pain – if only…you were here… Then, I wouldn’t be so full of fear…I want to hold you dear… Time goes by oh so fast… The past is surely in the past… Don’t give me no drama Sick of the trauma you put me through Doesn’t matter anymore, mama I guess I was always and forever blue
