Good Bye To Love

Put down and lies, jokes can be unkind
Focused on flaws, you pull out your claws
I bit off more than I could chew

I feel the pain, in my veins
Your love slowly killing me over time
Try after try, mistakes and lies
Damn pride, your love feels forced and tried

My heart aches, both broken and bruised,
Shattered lives led fuzzy, and confused 
Who’s the joker? Who’s the fool?
 I’m in love with nothing anymore because of you


Do I deserve more?
What am I fighting for?  Is this a payment for my crimes?
Going through the motions, void of emotion
Settled comfortably in loneliness beside you

It’s all been said
Were both dead
Goodbye to the last of love left for you

Coldness I cry, I hope I’m alive 
I prefer numb over blue
Living this life never feeling loved inside
 I will pray for you
