Jump through hoops
Come away singed
Whipped
Like a circus animal
Deserving this fate
But don’t believe
Whitewashing the past
Time
Or some forgiving heart
Will redeem you

If I told you take your sweet time
The remains of my lifetime
I said it through believing eyes
Promising any number of hours
I’ll just be over here on a shelf
Having a cigarette
Waiting
Well, you know me
Always the optimist
The daydreamer with you
My sheer will ran dry
Three months and I did the math
There’ve been three lies
There’ve been three strikes
It is saddening
how much damage he can do
‘fore she stops caring.
