Dominoes

Dominoes©: Songwritten not a poem. ??

If it's your turn
To f*** me over then just 
Knock the bones down
I can hear them. Crashing now
So just do it. Just push one
Watching the domino effect. It's begun 
It's too late. Karmas come back around

Hello old friend. You'd be proud that
It wasn't me who f***ed up again. Not this time
But I guess after. What I've done 
That now it's my time...
It's my time. To pick up the pieces, to be
Left alone. I know the feeling now
Of the damage I've caused. But I tried so hard 
It wasn't enough. You had no forgiveness for me 
In your heart. And after all these years
Your heart turned black. I didn't think I deserved it
Then again. Neither did you
All of those years back
This is the last attack... So
Watch them fall

I'm picking up all the bones. Lining them back up into rows. I can't see where my future goes. I want to cry. I want to scream. Karma really is a queen. I finally wasn't the bad guy anymore. I wasn't the person I used to be. But I can't erase your memory. I can make you see me differently.

(Ooo ooh why.. So, so, ooh oh)
(I can never take it back)
(And that hurts so bad)

Is this what it felt like? Depressed and wanting. To go home. But home had left you. And then you were all alone. To feel empty. Worthless, f***ing confused. I was wreckless and young when I did this to you. Is this what you wanted me to see? Then. We should never had gotten. Back together. If you couldn't forgive the past. Start a new future. Let go of the grudge. Look at what we've become. Nothing but memories... Why did we even bother. Just to waste each other's time in agony.

I'm picking up all the bones. Lining them back up into rows. I can't see where my future goes. I want to cry. I want to scream. Karma really is a queen. I finally wasn't the bad guy anymore. I wasn't the person I used to be... But I can't erase your memory. I can't make you see me differently. 

I'm lining them up 
All in rows
Building a wall 
With my dominoes...
I'm surrounded
I'm surrounded
I'm not going to let anybody in
I'm not going to cave in
2x2's and 6x6 
Karma is a f***ing b****!!!

This is what I'm screaming as I'm stuck
Cying in the storm
To cover up 
That I'm falling apart
So that you can't see my slain heart

I finally wasn't the bad guy (bad guy)
I finally wasn't the bad guy, anymore
I wasn't the person I used to be
But I can't erase your memory...
I can make you see me differently.
