Analysis of No Negotiation



You shot me in the head tonight!
Bled my heart, fed my wrath.
And inside I felt the change.

My choice you'd taken,
Stolen words, trust forsaken.
And inside i felt the change

With selfish pride you broke my line.
Stopped a life before its time.
And inside i felt the change.

Our life together, now its dead.
The future joy within you've shed.
And inside i felt the change.

So lie my love, sleep alone.
What we once had now is gone.
And inside you feel the change.
