memories turned to shadows
the bitter turned to better
the words that were once love letters
didn't make my tears less wetteri'm fine now, thanks for asking
i was done with the way you were acting
clasping at the straws
funny to me
i was an assassin
to the love we had
attacking my own heart
cracking my soul
helped me rebuild it all
and now, bitterness is my favourite taste
because it's no longer on my tongue
i'm happier now
now that i'm done
