The Last 12 Hours

6:02 I wake up next to you. I stare at your sleeping face So full of beauty and grace 6:58 I serve breakfast on a plate You smile and lift your head As I bring it to you in bed 7:34 I’m heading out the door We kiss before I go Which lingers a moment or so 12:01 My work is halfway done The very thought of you Helps me power through 4:33 I’m finally free Off early, I head home To the greatest love I’ve known 5 o’clock I’m just about to knock But off-put by familiar sounds I sneak in to not be found 5:01 What have you done?! I find you in my bed With a different lover instead 5:02 How could you?! Tarnish a love so pure After all that we endured 5:19 I can’t believe this scene Shocked by your disregard I’m broken, shattered, scarred 5:23 Now you’ll listen to me! As my sadness turns to fury My mind is getting blurry 5:24 Time to settle the score I fire one shot from my gun Piercing the chest of my “one” 5:25 Though, you are still alive I fall to my knees in fear For the end is drawing near 6:07 You’ve ascended into heaven Or more likely you’re in hell With a secret I’ll never tell
