Fish Out of Water

Keeping me hooked like a fish out of water.
On invisible line, i cant see.
You keep pulling harder.

When you first baited me in, giving me what i wanted.
Just to toy with my heart.
You threw me back into the water.

Reeling me in closer,
Almost so i could touch.
Just to hear those horrible words
You arent good enough.

Back to where it started.
Where i first learned to swim.
Lead me to another boat
With better fisherman.

No need for apologies.
Dont even bother.
My life is served at its best
Like a fish out of water.
