Roller Coaster

Thank you for the roller coaster ride
Never in my life have I ever been on one for five years
I guess I should thank you for all the ups
But you put me in hell
               on every drop down
You took those heels and crushed my heart into fragments 
                on every drop down 

I don’t know how I put my heart back together 
But I guess a real man can take all the pain and come back from it all

Your thoughts your spinning out of control Afraid of closeness 
Your life taught you no love 

You’re so far from seeing where your pain comes from. 
You just run so keep on running
I’m off this roller coaster for good.
