Eye for an Eye

0 Comment

I took it for so long, forgot how to cry
I had no choice but to sit and comply
Strung me up and kicked me down
You lied and twisted my heart around
I reached for a hand but you kept them at bay
I felt so alone like I’d never get away
You did me wrong, I’ll get you back!
You thought me week but you don’t know jack

An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
Just wasn’t enough to say goodbye
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I shouldn’t have done it but there’s nothing to deny
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
You gave me all I need to justify
An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
I’ll never die
I’ll never die

I’ve had enough of this game we play
You’re the hunter and I’m your prey
I plotted and schemed a plan in my head
I hoped and dreamed while I lay in bed
Yet nothing seemed right, nothing seemed fair
Couldn’t find a way to break my despair
Who’d of know after hiding my tears
I’d explode in a fireball of fury and fears

I’ll never die
I’ll never die
I’ll never die
I’ll never die

Tried to hold it in but I lost control
Thought your demise would satisfy my soul
A sticky wicket, a dark impasse
Is what’s reflected right from the glass
I’m now a stranger at first glance
Wouldn’t trade my tears for another chance
Looking back I could have hurt you more
If I’d packed my bags and walked out the door
