Blood and Tears

When did “I love you” turn to “I like you”
maybe when we started fighting
I thought you were the one
but your anger became so frightening
I know I went wrong somewhere
my heart has been shattered to a million and one
you’d go to your room where the music would blare
and that’s when I decided to run
 
Run, Run away from the angry words
where the love was forever lost
your first flew like migrating birds
i had to duck, duck from the punches
the abuse had gone too far
I had to get, get away forever
Never to return to the house of blood and tears
Im past that, Im gone, You’ll never have me back
 
I feel my pulse quicken as you open the door
as the sweat drips down my temples
to be hurt never more
Ill use you as my best example
Im gone from this place never to return
Ive disappeared from your world
I hope your heart will forever burn
Just like you left me curled
That’s when I decided I had to run
 
The blood fills my mouth
from the jaw you’ve broken
tears run down
from the words you’ve spoken
Ill taste blood and tears forever

(2006)
