Pack up my Life

Pack up my Life
 
I’m sleeping on a bed of nails
Oh how your kind of love impales
 
I’m dealing with ghosts from the past
Tell me how long will the bitterness last
 
You told me you loved me but you lied
All of your insults are very well implied
 
Your love is neither true nor real
And you just don’t care how I feel
 
Your emotions travel any way the wind blows
What exactly the truth is only heaven knows
 
My whole body is wracked with pain
You say that I’m only complaining again
 
You are always looking out for number one
Never caring in the slightest about the damage done
 
You must have lived an awfully hard life
Meanwhile making mine so full of strife
 
And how about your wandering heart
Always waiting for a new fire to start
 
I’m so patient and kind with you can’t you see
But you don’t show the same type of curtsey to me
 
Feels just like I am bound and tied
Couldn’t count all of the tears I’ve cried
 
Your words are daggers to my soul
To watch me fall is your ultimate goal
 
I have said all that there is to say
I’m no longer going let you have your way
 
I think that I’ll pack up my life today
And let the open road pave my way
