You know it's coming
It's coming, and you know it is
You tell yourself you should leave her
Before she leaves you
Protect yourself
Wrap your heart up in a shield
Protection that will work about as well as saran wrap would to a bullet
Because you are weak
But you convince yourself that you are invincible
That this pain, this pain will not phase you
It will ricochet off of your heart of stone
And feel like nothing more than a gentle touch goodbye
Because that is what this is
Your heart of stone hasn't comprehended it yet
But she's gone
And she's never coming back
It was coming..
But you, you pretended you couldn't see it
You hid yourself away into the deepest corners of yourself
And now you are lost
You are lost within yourself, oblivious to the reality that your heart of stone is breaking at the loss of her
And your saran wrap shield didn't stop the bullet
It's just helping hold together the mess
