Throw Me Away
Like an autumn leaf ready to fall
I hold on with all my strength but its inevitable
I lose my support and down I descend
But out from nowhere you reach out your hand
Like a gift from above your presence is unreal
Like a white flag in the middle of a battlefield
You hold me tight, healing all my soars
I know you are everything and more
Every time I try to tell you what I feel the words fall apart
You can't be real
You're everything that I want, my sanctuary, my light
None of my words feel right
Your voice, sweeter than any song
In my arms you belong, honored to have you by my side
To guard you while you sleep
To hold you while you weep
But I forgot to say…
You tempt me
You tease me
You make me want to be with you
But it's just an illusion
One of your masks
You wear to confuse everyone that you choose
The Libra can't please the Pisces
You cripple me every time
You break my heart and my body dies
I want to just erase my memory of you
You manipulate my emotions
Toying with everything that is me and my feelings are shit in your eyes
To you my pain is always a surprise
Throw me away
You don't need me anymore
It's amazing that you can walk away from anything
Stop it all and go again
Lead a new life with no remorse
Forget those that cared with no report
Pouring salt in my open soars
You might as well just take a knife and stab it in my back
'Cause that's what you did mentally inside
And I just want to ask why but I stop myself
It's not worth the trouble, you'd probably only lie
How can you feel so good while I feel so bad?
Throw me away
You don’t need me anymore
Attention is all you seek
Your vision of love is bleak
Everyone is just a pawn in your game of chess that you control
If only you'd let me know
That you were only for show
Before I got attached then lost it all, adding to my endless sorrow
I gave you my world for you to spit on
Mourned for your fallen when it was all a lie
You told me you loved me just to keep me on the line
You're the greatest actress I've ever met
I put my life on hold for you
You saw me as a tool that you could use
Your lies were your method of abuse
Nothing you told me was ever true
Throw me away
You don't need me anymore
You take away
The darkness in my life
And bring forth heavenly light
I know I'll sleep tonight
