sharks smelling blood

amazing how I can’t let go
angry words flung in my face
poisoned knife stabbed in my back
the atlantic calls for my blood
sharks like you smell blood
circle for the kill and destroy
sharks don’t understand life
its complexities and twists
no one can explain it to them
you don’t understand either
and no one can explain it to you
live in your backwater town
your mere existence makes me mad
i’m seeing red
don’t think you’ll have to see my face again
don’t have much time for sympathy
cause it never happened to me
you never showed sympathy
to you it was a ruse
another form of getting attention

and time has passed
and i have moved on
but some things never change
it’s okay to be angry and never let go
it only gets harder the more that you know
i find more of you each day
remnants of memories lodged in my head
things I had forgotten or ignored
now make a lot more sense
i can see clearly now
the rain is gone
your tears were raindrops
blurring my vision
with you I forgot what was important
ignored people who needed me
cause i thought you needed me
i still don’t know what you need
but i know i don’t need you
you destroy me and hurt me
so i walked away and we are done
i’ve forgiven what i can
and ignored the rest
even still the truth remains

it’s ok to be angry and never let go
it only gets harder the more that you know

i still haven’t let go
Call me out
You stayed inside
One you love
Is where you hide
Shot me down as I flew by
Crash and burn
I think sometimes you forget where the heart is

Answer no to these questions
Let her go, learn a lesson
It’s not me, you’re not listening now
Can’t you see something’s missing?
You forget where the heart is

Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you love me you’d say it’s okay

Waking up from this nightmare
How’s your life, what’s it like there?
Is it all what you want it to be?
Does it hurt when you think about me?
And how broken my heart is

Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you love me you’d say it’s okay

It’s okay to be angry and never let go
It only gets harder the more that you know
When you get lonely if no one’s around
You know that I’ll catch you when you’re falling down
We came together but you left alone
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again
And you’ll look me in my eyes and call me your friend

Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you love me you’d say its okay
It’s okay
It’s okay
