I always give one last chance
But one turns into a dozen
You promised to change
I promised to not take you back
While l thinking of you
You was thinking of being in someone else's bed
You convince me that you love me
I try to convince myself it's true
All l wanted was a happy ending
All you wanted was her
So yes l will give you one last chance
One last chance to leave...
Before I say
I don’t believe I should
My heads pulsing with thoughts
So very anxious thoughts

Took your organs captive, slowly destroying them
The last straw was when you bruised my jaw
We know it wasn’t an accident
I didn’t fall, you tried to “whack some sense into me”
So that was it!!
I’m tired of the misery and injuries
Now you won’t see me ...
To me you were what the world revolved around
I knew when I was with you I would be safe and sound
At as I grew older you protected me less and less
And you gave me a world that was quite a mess
Ive heard you’re voicemail one too many times
