lyrics

I can't stop thinking about you...
You won't get out of my head...
I've tried so hard to replace you...
But you keep coming up instead...

Get out of here, I don't want you to be here anymore
You keep coming back, what are you doing this for!?
I love you, I loved you, but I'm sick of your shit
Why are you trying to beat me down!? I already forfeit!
I give up, I give in, I moved on, I moved out
And yet the voices in my head like to scream and shout
Like to remind me of you, and when their volume subsides
You seem to know and then you show yourself just to remind
Just to give me a hint that it could've been better
That we could have been together, you wouldn't have broken forever
And now that it's never, you want to rub it in my face
From a faraway place, gone but leaving a trace
But I'm happy too, as long as I'm not thinking of you
So stop reminding me about the things we'll never get to do
Whatever though, typical teenage angst on a pedestal
I'll remedy with music and write my own lyrics until the kettle blows
Turning up the heat on our personal body of water
Until you evaporate from my life and are no longer a bother
And you infect my lyrics, the fourth wall has been broken
Because I've rapped the same in the past; the audience has spoken
They say if you're gonna rap about girls, find a better way to do it
Man it's trite and played out, so I had to renew it
So I figured I would make you into the song, didn't know where to start
The etchings came up weak; I couldn't detach you from my heart
To put you on paper, you stay there like a persistent leach
I'm feeling purged of the practiced lessons I used to preach
And in a lesser informed era I'd consider this a healing
Now I realize I was stupid, got left with a hollow feeling
Stealing notions of trust, you had me strung out on lies
Crossing oceans of lust, I didn't see the strings were tied
The knots in my stomach were indicators of the disaster
When the snowballs started rolling the knots unwound even faster
And I got left in the cold, you were the manifestation of snow
Comforting in the winter but eventually you had to go
So very easy to mold, melted in others hands
When the blizzard kept me in I was reminded of broken plans
Where did you go? What happened every night you were gone?
I feared for the worst but you assured me that I was wrong
And when I found out the truth, you tried to place the guilt on me
Like I was built not to see that you're simply filled with deceit
You were nothing but a boulder trying to smolder my blaze
I was so stoked but when trouble hit I was counting the days
And when the sticks had all broken and the stones crushed my bones
The words were sharp enough to cut me up and you left me alone
Not to be melodramatic, our end is anticlimactic
It's just so sad it had to be so drastic, I just had to have it
And so goodbye to you and us, I hope you're happy away
I'm doing my best to squelch your voice; and I'm doing okay
