to kill this
06/15/07, 02:23 PM
I stood up to myself today
fed up and tired of what I had to say
stupid excuses and broken trust
what i was known for, now i let it go
i'll take my chances on the rust, rusting
old shell i used to call home
put me on and zip me up,
a feeling I used to know
I am back at the starting line
my new heart, jump starts
and i fall in in place
with my new skin, my new blood,
my new mind
i am now the person i want to be
and i can face it, face you this time
I cleaned out my veins
trashed all the ones where
you carved your name
and i scoured my room
for memories of you
i hope you know that they are gone too
I rinsed off my bones
and i let you nowhere near the hose
the last time i'd been so clean
was long before you caused this scene
I am back at the starting line
my new heart, jump starts
and i fall in in place
with my new skin, my new blood,
my new mind
i am now the person i want to be
and i can face it, face you this time
You walk up the driveway
skipping steps, you vainly walk my way
i turn and i face you
you're surprised, cause in my eyes
it shows, i've replaced you
with this new life
yeah i no longer find shelter in your lies
I am back at the starting line
my new heart, jump starts
and i fall in in place
with my new skin, my new blood,
my new mind
i am now the person i want to be
and i can face it, face you this time
fed up and tired of what I had to say
stupid excuses and broken trust
what i was known for, now i let it go
i'll take my chances on the rust, rusting
old shell i used to call home
put me on and zip me up,
a feeling I used to know
I am back at the starting line
my new heart, jump starts
and i fall in in place
with my new skin, my new blood,
my new mind
i am now the person i want to be
and i can face it, face you this time
I cleaned out my veins
trashed all the ones where
you carved your name
and i scoured my room
for memories of you
i hope you know that they are gone too
