What You Owe
Two wrongs never make a right
But somehow you are going to pay for how treated me last night
I have been through the high waters from the pits below
Long nights drenched in tears is what you owe
A sickening feeling inside my stomach and a dull pain in the small of my back
Now is the time for you to pay for all things you have always lacked
The sun is shining brightly outside but on the inside you hurt
This is how I felt when you made me feel like dirt
A man shows no emotions but that has been proved to be a lie
You poor thing...It was certainly my intentions to make you cry
I have been through the high waters conjured from the pits below
Cried out eyes and a sad face is what you owe
I guess it doesn’t feel good knowing that your heart aches
I’ve become immune to the pain because I suffered so many heart breaks
The pain of being mistreated by the one you love feels like being stabbed straight through
the soul
There you are left with a mess to clean up and a heart inflicted with a hole
Curling into the fetal position doesn’t help to ease the pain
Once you get the hurt out of your heart you have to try to get it out of your brain
Damaged thoughts and broken relationships with the demons haunting you from below
Defeat never victory or the success of a happy relationship is what you owe
