Life Would be Better If

Life Would Be Better If

Life would be better if

I'd unlock this jail

To my personal hell

That has consumed me for years

Surrounded by my ill little fears

Of being left alone

As I wait by the phone

For your next 

You didn't call

I stumble and fall 

Of the guilt of it all

Now you're gone with

My heart

Shattered broken in parts

Tiny bits and pieces 

Between every fold and creases

My 

Life would be better 

If 

I'd just written a good bye letter

I didn't know better

So I gave you another chance

Cause I wanted to dance

With my one love 

Instead you used your hands 

To explain the pain

This is insane

As I take my last breath

Loving you caused 

Lots of pain

Wasteful years

And eventually 

My death

Life would better 

If

It hadn't come to

This
