Is this the way it was all suppose to go?
You took my broken beaten heart home
You came right in then left out the door
But what was this broken heart for?
I’ll look back on the things I knew
I’ll remember how I loved you through
Or maybe I’m the one to blame
I’ve never wanted to take a last name
I’m the one who wants to win the game
Love is war with a price tag on my name
I know that I’m almost to 23
But I’m afraid I still don’t know what love means
I break off pieces of the ones that got tangled in my cords
I keep them stashed away under the boards
It’s a terrible means to an end
It’s all the resistance with no bend
I’ll take these stolen pieces out
And make a monster with no mouth
Because the lips are too easy catch
The mouth is the only part of anyone that loves me back
I want their spines
Their ears
Their bones
I want to fixate on their words through a telephone
They kiss me raw with lovers’ intent
But all their kisses are so impulsively spent
I fight for them in public
Even if they only love me in secret
Their devotion is conditional
On whether my legs are open and confessional
So give me it all
You were the one who ruined it all
When you told me how you felt
Go on and break you promises
I’m all out of shoots and misses
I’m on your string until the end of time
So break open a bottle and pour me some wine
We might as well get comfortable too
Since the rest of my life will be wasted on you
