about getting used. i can draw from this subject a lot.


backup plan

You're certain that you love her
but love isn't what it seems
for when she finally breaks your heart
in the curtains, off the wings
you'll attempt to crawl back to me
hoping i'll redeem
the gross injustice you made of my heart
when clearly that will not be
the days I bore my heart for you
the times i cried a sea for you
the moments I went cliched for you
were just products of your evil plan
to make me break my heart for you
and jump the tallest fall for you
and waltz to the edge of the world
and swan-dive into quicksand
but she will never play your games
for her devotion never remains
so, if you're so good for her i bet
then why am I your safety net?
why do you keep my heart in the wings
if you cast it aside to the rest of the world it seems
but when you finally get your end
your broken wings i shall not mend
for love is never what it seems
and you will never be redeemed
to her devotion's just a game
you know the rules, only the roles have changed.
