Bigger Fish

You're no good for me, Baby,
and I'm no good for you.
I can drive myself crazy,
but what good would that do?
Sometimes songs refuse to play,
and rhymes refuse to flow.
Sometimes we sing out in vain,
that's just the way it goes.
I cant hold on to reasons,
when they dont help me shine.
To do that would be treason,
against me and all mine.
I wont hang my head and cry,
or numb the aching truth.
Cause, after all, I cant lie,
there's nothing I can do.
I'll just take the damage done,
and hide it out of mind.
I dont need you, or anyone,
To help my fires shine.
I knew soon this time would come,
and thought it would be rough,
but turns out pain was only some,
I guess I had enough.
In fact, I feel all this weight,
just rising off my soul.
relieving me of all this Hate,
returning my control.
At last, I'll always Love you,
and that I know is fact.
But nothing that you say or do
will get me to look back.
My eyes now look ahead of me,
surely to better things.
And as far as I can see,
Those bigger fish swim there abundantly.
