Breathless (Lifeless)

Back then I used to trust in love

Used to think it was something precious

Look you in the eye and leave ya breathless

Each day was like a month in Paris

But perhaps I was too over zealous

Pretty careless

My jealous self is endless

It got me kicked out like some poor house tenant

My heart was killed but the scars never die they’re deathless

What was that about breathless?

Yeah I was breathless

But I got my breath back

After you told me you were leaving

Never coming back

I finally figured out it was all an act

A charade, a clever play

You were such a good actor

Call you David Spade

“I love you” you used to say

Now you tell me it was just a phase

Girl stop the word play

Tell it to me straight

I hate to think the past two years were fake

But it turns she had played me

Check mate

Game over no move left

My heart was spent

No refunds

Not a dollar or a cent

You were long gone I was still stunned

A shotgun to the chest

Would’ve hurt less

Then the internal mess and torment

You took away my breath

For the second time

This time I was literally breathless

Instead of being deathless I was left

Lifeless
