I Know How the Mafia Would Handle This

And here we go again
trying to conquer me with words 

Did you ever think
that the weapon was inside you all along?

And the way his smiled look next to yours
I guess you’re not worried about your reputation 

And the way you were leaning back
I guess you didn’t tell him yet 

But somehow
they always know in the end 

Cover up your tracks 
and cover up that scar 
I’m sure it’s not the only one you got from him 

He lost everything he has
he just doesn’t know it yet 

She likes to be alone 
always crying by the window 

Holding her heart in her hands,
she lit a match 
and set it all ablaze 

She said, “oh, let it burn
it wasn’t doing much anyways”

She might be dramatic
but she’s never lacked potential 

Her burning heart
is now a trophy of her resilience
