Hold on

When I met her the day I fell in love,
her eyes were like two silver spoons.
Then came the great and awful flood
she left me standing there marooned.
You know you're cold as ice inside
when there's nothing left to make you cry.
I guess that I'll go.

I miss your evil little grin
and that silly giggle that you wore.
I don't even know where to begin
how I wish you would still call me yours.
I quit gambling years 10 years past
But I'd bet the farm I'll finish last.
Last.
I better just go.

Drive on in and call me rude
say everything I did was cruel.
Say anything at all to me
and end this bitter agony.
There's nothing worse in this whole world
than to be in love without your girl.
Girl...
Please don't go.

When we made love I felt her shake
her body was that perfect wave.
No matter what life has in store
she'll always have me at my core.
I'd run to her in seconds flat
if she would only run on back.

I remember December

I hold on so tight
a kung-fu death grip
to my chest of drawers
slammed shut
and locked.

I'd steal your scarf
wrap round my eyes
and plug my ears.
Jesus Christ
leave me
leave me alone.

You're with Ryan
in your car
playing songs-
I guarantee
no Taylor Swift
dedications from me.

As I say goodnight
I'll say goodnight
through your blindness,
You'll not fuck me
(over)
anymore.

And to make clear
to your fucking ego
this
isn't
for you.

Goodnight.
