Never Return To Me
I never want to see
Your face again
You're nothing to me
You're not my friend
You threw me away
And didn't care how it hurt
Now I just want to see you
Six feet in the dirt
Because you hurt me
Like no one else ever has
And I can't take this pain
Can't come back from the past
I know who you are
I've known your kind all my life
Your smile hides the hand
Where you hold the knife
And it doesn't bother you
To plunge it deep inside
To make me bleed
And laugh while I cry
I'm sick of everyone
Always laughing at me
I want to kill them all
So I can be free
And they can feel the pain
That I've had to bear
So they can see how much
That I really cared
When they are left dying
Like I am
When they are hurting
And scared
So please take what I give
This disdain that I feel
For what you called love
Are the scars that don't heal
They're etched in my mind
And cut into my soul
In the place of my heart
Is a live burning coal
That never goes dim
Or cools down enough
To be held by another
To feel or be touched
So go on your way
And never return
I'll cast all your memories
Like the ash from an urn
To be carried by winds
Far away from this place
Where the scattered remains
Cannot bring back disgrace
Or the look in your eyes
Where there is nothing left
Of what we had or remind
What should have been said
That to live and to love
Is a fight to the death
And nothing else matters
Till your very last breath
But the war that was waged
Was against our own selves
It took everything we had
Then sent us through hell
And that's where I am now
The home built by my hands
Alone and destroyed
Trying still to understand
Yet I'll never see the end
Of what could have been
Because we cannot forgive
The hurt and the sins
Committed over and over
And without regrets
Save only this one
That we ever met
Your face again
You're nothing to me
You're not my friend
You threw me away
And didn't care how it hurt
Now I just want to see you
Six feet in the dirt
Because you hurt me
Like no one else ever has
And I can't take this pain
Can't come back from the past
I know who you are
I've known your kind all my life
Your smile hides the hand
Where you hold the knife
And it doesn't bother you
To plunge it deep inside
To make me bleed
And laugh while I cry
I'm sick of everyone
Always laughing at me
I want to kill them all
So I can be free
And they can feel the pain
That I've had to bear
So they can see how much
That I really cared
When they are left dying
Like I am
When they are hurting
And scared
So please take what I give
This disdain that I feel
For what you called love
Are the scars that don't heal
They're etched in my mind
And cut into my soul
In the place of my heart
