The Last Time



Shattering screams and shooting pains,
they're driving me insane.
Shaking hands and a lonely heart,
as I lie here in the dark.
Burning candles and a scent of you,
helps me know what I must do.
A love so true was just a lie,
all I wonder now is why?
How could you use me and play with my emotions,
you fundled and twisted my true devotion.
You've messed up for the last time,
you will feed no one else these selfish lines.
Standing here now I look in your eyes,
I hear you plead as I begin to cry.
I raise my hand to touch your face,
and salty blood is all I taste.
I pull the trigger and hear the gun,
you fall, but thats only one.
Again I pull the trigger but I dont hear a sound,
I'm lying here beside you on the ground.
