The end of love as it dies a death on the floor
And I don’t feel that way about him anymore
And he tries to bring me down to his level
The hatred and dark in which we revel
When I am aligned with his steam
And it sure does look like he knows how to kill a dream
Coz I put a flower behind his ear
And captured the shot of when he held me dear
Then manic pain clouds his eyes in anger
And I’m just putting my t-shirt on the hanger
When another wave hits me in the gut
He walks close to the edge of calling me a slut
And he tries to capsize the boat in which he lies
I can feel it rumble underneath the disguise
As he spits out words that slither through his teeth
And I just keep on meeting him on the street
In my mind and memory, it plays out
And he catches the words that don’t fall from my mouth
As though the silence is a crime I don’t know I commit
So he takes his guns and calls me a bitch
And I let him leave me, walk out the door
As he becomes something I abhor 
In my secret heart
Was I stupid for letting it start
All the perfume and fragrant scent
All the words he never meant
