So the Lies Can'T Get In

Pull pieces of my love Through the shattered cracks of my heart Put them away in a coffin secured with locks and chains. Find all the pieces. then maybe, I can no longer be hurt. Take all my expectations and shred them let the pieces fall to the ground. Take all my disappointment pour it on the coffin, suffocate the love within. Take all those hopes and those dreams Take what I thought love should be Light it all on fire. until only ashes remain. Take the respect and fascination I had drown them in my tears cry until the ashes are washed clear until what I felt disintegrates Into nothing. Take all I was made to feel in the past, Loved. Cherished. Respected. Wanted. Included. Important. Stomp those feelings into the mud Used the crushed feelings mixed with dirt to patch the cracks in my heart So the lies can't get in, anymore.
