Pride will Destroy
Why do I torment my mind?
Why do my emotions make me blind?
Why must I scream and shout?
Why do I allow this course to play out?
My mind is racing.
My feet keep pacing.
My heart is pounding.
My voice is sounding.
My heart feels heavy
A fine I will levy.
As I will pay for my actions.
This brings me no satisfaction.
My body is weak.
My attitude I can't tweak.
I'm on a role now.
Keep tearing him down.
Tell him he's worthless.
That you could care less.
Show him who's boss.
No matter the cost.
You're so disgusting.
I see you, you're ugly.
Soon he will see too.
He will see the truth.
You say that you love him.
There's no one above him.
Except for maybe, you?
There's no way that's true.
You're sick in the mind.
When will you realize?
He deserves respect.
Don't treat him like shit
Can't you admit when your wrong?
Say sorry and just get along.
How is it too late?
Why choose this as your fate?
Go on, make a stride.
This time, please, swallow your pride.
No, instead stand your ground?
Your words are profound.
Profoundly dumb.
You're such scum
Don't tell yourself lies.
You'll be sorry, you'll cry.
Because he's gonna try
To tell you goodbye.
You beg and you plead.
"Please, don't leave"
"I love you, I'll change"
"Can we try this again?"
He forgives and he stays,
But will he love you the same?
His love for you is strong.
He's loved you for so long.
He loves when you smile.
But, he hasn't it in a while.
What he cares about most
Is happiness for you both.
Don't hurt him anymore.
It's you he adores.
His heart needs preserved.
Show him the love he deserves.
He is your world.
He's your best friend.
Don't let this love end.
From him don't hide.
Just let go of your pride.
