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
