lyrics

She knows how to exact
My interest with her eye contact
I'm wound around her finger

And I have come to learn
That she gives nothing in return
Yet my love still lingers

Chasing my tail, holding the rail
To help me 'cause my heart's so frail
Bridges I've crossed have all borne the cost
Of helping me become more lost

Three strikes but still up to bat
The umpire won't quit the chit-chat
Can't seem to leave home plate

The game is my demise
And I've been forced to improvise
Yet I can barely think straight

Chasing my tail, holding the rail
To help me 'cause my heart's so frail
Bridges I've crossed have all borne the cost
Of helping me become more

I've had enough
This day has been rough
I don't need to call her on her bluff

I'll pen some rhymes
Then shift paradigms
And I'll make the same mistakes next time
