Crash Override
May 11th, 2003, 07:10 PM
I wrote this the other day. It's not particularly good, still very much a rough draft...but I don't really have the energy to rework and touch it up myself, so maybe some of you can provide a few suggestions.
VERSE 1
I have to say
I'm disappointed in you.
I thought by now you'd grown up,
But I see that's not quite true.
Well I'm tired of playing these games,
Because you're better at them than I'll ever be,
And though I hate to say it,
I guess we are through.
And I'm sure you'll agree
You're better off without me.
CHORUS
I've waited long enough for this,
But I won't wait anymore.
I can't let my feelings for you
Keep me from walking out that door.
And I won't let you bring me down,
I can't sit here sad,
Because as disappointed as I am,
I know it's not that bad.
Actually, I'm kind of glad.
VERSE 2
But I can't forgive you this time,
Because now you've gone too far,
You'll never hear me sing again,
Or see me play guitar.
So I hope that it was worth it,
That upper hand you crave,
I hope that you enjoyed every second,
'Cause I'll never be your slave
Ever again.
No, never again.
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I guess this is goodbye,
Maybe someday we'll be friends again,
So call me when you fucking grow up,
And I'll see you in a year or ten.
They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone,
Well maybe tomorrow you'll find
That you had a great thing yesterday,
But then you chose to push him away,
And now he's leaving you behind.
He's put you out of his mind.
CHORUS
