I Held the Noose You Tied the Knot
Breathing; trusting
. . .not a habit
When I see the blade. . .
I tend to grab it
I used to feel so lost;
so scared
I gave up, 'cause no one
cared
I held the gun. . .
but you're the one
. . .who aimed the shot
I held the noose. . .
but you're the one
. . .who tied the knot
I swear I'm gonna
cry
'sick of trying to be
tough
I swear I'm gonna
die
'cause no one showed me
love
Breathing; trusting
. . .never will
trust is vain, my breath is
still. . .
Closure has come to me
. . .myself
This is where I'll stay;
this hell. . .
