[ way too good to take ]

shes sitting there wasting her tears
with no one in her world to stop her fears
you sit and stare like you never saw
someone with just so many flaws
you laugh at her and call her names
and wonder why she plays those games
shes sitting there wasting her time
in her youth and in her prime
could be working on her tomorrow
but shes stuck with tears and sorrow
lost all hope and dreams they fly
through the heavens and into the sky
she reaches to them with a smile
but realizes its not worth her while
they start to crumble and fears come true
shes left alone with thoughts of you
and what you say and how she felt
when you handed the cards you delt
upon her hand the words they fall
until its simply nothing at all
she tried to find pleasure in your pain
the words you played just werent a game
she tried making sense of her doing
why she was and who shes screwing
to think you filled an open wound
with salted tears and so soon
for her to find it was all fake
that this was way too good to take
so now you sit and watch her waste
those salty tears
so real to taste…….
