Damnation

If all you gonna do

is come back at me

and cry about how you're sorry

just to repeat old history

please leave me be -

you know the quitter was you.

If your return is only to swear

on things you can't keep

when in truth you won't be there,

won't make a real move,

it won't matter the amount

you may try to prove

I could always count

on you as a good friend -

I must have missed the beat

that you wouldn't stay till the end.

You may try feeling better

for having had the grace

of telling the truth

of what you wanted no more

but you don't see how much youth

you could have spared looking me in the face

or having said all this way before,

but you might be just another player.

 

Look at yourself and just admit

that deep down it was just desire,

you let yourself burn by the fire

of what to me feels clear

it was nothing but an idea

to which you could never commit

and how easily you tire.

 

If no part of you

can handle the struggle,

can truly defend

or give me a home

no matter what it takes

and all you can be is the shade of blue

of making the same mistakes

and never knowing what you feel or do

quit us both of the trouble

of calling this the end.

From the start we were done

if everything hurts

for getting no more than words.
