Away From You
You were buried but I brought you back to life
Wiped away your tears and cleared all your strife
I held you up when you didn't think you could
Gave you encouragement when you didn't think you would
But look how you've repaid me just look at this mess
I swear you live to heighten my anger and stress
Why try so hard when I know that you won't
Why do I care when I know that you don't
To be fair though you say that you do
But actions speak loudly and you know this too
Do you want to see my worst side cuz you will find
That I pay back all I give when treated in kind
Live now and see what you have made into me
This thing where all I see are vengeance and jealousy
Why do I let myself fall into these traps
While you do what you want and take these cat naps
I swear I must get you out of my head
Before I do something crazy and end up quite dead
It has to be it this time I have to walk away
There can be no more of this at the end of the day
So watch as I walk cuz it's the best view in the house
I'll not torture myself for you, such a louse
You don't owe me anything and I owe none in return
Though it doesn't stop me from silently wishing you'll burn
Or even end up with someone who is just like you
So you'll also endure the misery, just like me too
Wiped away your tears and cleared all your strife
I held you up when you didn't think you could
Gave you encouragement when you didn't think you would
But look how you've repaid me just look at this mess
I swear you live to heighten my anger and stress
Why try so hard when I know that you won't
Why do I care when I know that you don't
To be fair though you say that you do
But actions speak loudly and you know this too
Do you want to see my worst side cuz you will find
That I pay back all I give when treated in kind
Live now and see what you have made into me
This thing where all I see are vengeance and jealousy
Why do I let myself fall into these traps
While you do what you want and take these cat naps
I swear I must get you out of my head
Before I do something crazy and end up quite dead
It has to be it this time I have to walk away
There can be no more of this at the end of the day
So watch as I walk cuz it's the best view in the house
I'll not torture myself for you, such a louse
You don't owe me anything and I owe none in return
Though it doesn't stop me from silently wishing you'll burn
Or even end up with someone who is just like you
So you'll also endure the misery, just like me too
