I'm Not Quite Sure How I Should Say This

Let the walls come crumbling down
They don't deserve to stand around me
You weren't there to lend a hand
Now I'm on my own and that's all I know
Let the night rain down upon us
Drop the knife onto the kitchen floor
Save your dramatics for someone who cares
I know you'd never go through with it anyway

So lay down and scream my name
You'll never understand the problem
You're here 'cause you've got no shame
And now I'll meet you at the bottom

So here we are again beneath the old oak tree
Your breath is frosty in this cold December air
I remember the day that I made my promise
Shattered within months but not my fault
Broken into pieces but not my fault

So slit my throat
Watch me die
Bury me
I'll never succumb to you

You're unstable and you won't admit it
You're out for blood and you'll regret it
These wounds you've created
They're your own
But it seems you'll never learn that

So lay down and scream my name
You'll never understand the problem
You're here 'cause you've got no shame
And now I'll meet you at the bottom

 

It's been a long time since you've posted anything here, Will, and I've got to say, this is gorgeous.

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

I really, really enjoyed this. Very good.

The only line that I didn't particularly like is the, "slit my throat" line but that's just me. It fits in the song anyway.

My favorite line was, "Save your dramatics for someone who cares"

But yes, you should post here more often. I love reading your work.

 

That was great! I really liked it how that "So lay ..." part came back.

 

Thanks for the comments.
