We shared so much together, but back you never gave

I feel as I’ve been hacked apart like the crest of a knave

You and I were so very close, only to break apart

I never dreamed t’would happen twice, to have a broken heart

I know I should forget you, and move on with my life

But thoughts keep drifting to my back, punctured by your knife

I’m not sure how it happened, I’m reeling even still

Listening to classic Beatles to try and raise my will

Dark and lonely is my bed alone, stroking where you used to lie

If I had no been such a man, I’d hang my head and cry

For the jewelry that I’d given you is tarnished with the time

And trapped inside my beating chest, my heart is silenced like a mime

But if hurting me is what you want, and your prize is my pain

I will no longer pleasure you, from that I will abstain

For even as you left me, my best friends never will

And that’s something you can’t take away, something you’ll never kill
