Burnt Soul

Her

The tears I couldn’t hide,

That night I couldn’t sleep,

The promise that you made;

That you still couldn’t keep.

I thought that you were mine,

Your worth was more than gold,

I found myself astounded by the story I was told.

The life I couldn’t live,

Good bye and leave me live;

You’ve drained me of every sweat;

There’s not a fuck left to give.

You ask me to forgive,

The treachery still lingers,

I can’t feel my face with this blunt between my fingers.

His

*stares calmly at the dark sky*

The life I couldn’t live,

That beer I couldn’t drink,

That night you looked me in the eye;

And made my heart sink.

The lie I couldn’t tell;

The truth I couldn’t speak.

You echoed in my heart with every single heart beat.

I knew this wasn’t right,

Had a good job and a wife,

Couldn’t help but want and need you;

You breathed in me life.

That life I couldn’t live,

Is the life you took away,

Broke me and my family,

Just for you to walk away.
