The Demolisher
It's not just my heart that's broken
It's not just what was spoken.
You destroyed our love, and trust
Was this anything but lust?
Were you ever really there for me?
Did you ever really care for me?
I'll never be alive again,
How could I ever rise again?
If there was a God, there isn't now
So smile, kid, and take a bow
Everything that wasn't broken
Everything that I'd accomplished
Every good thing inside me
Stripped, and pretty, new, and polished
Fades to gray, then dies away
What I'd built up, you've now demolished.
I never broke your heart.
So why were you so scared?
I'm sure you tell yourself all day
That I never even cared.
But if you take a look at me
And see the love inside my eyes
You'll see how much I loved you,
I just hope you know how hard I tried.
