If you were going to cut anything out of me
You should have made it my tongue
This is like a Fall Out Boy Albumn, baby...
[My heart is the worst kind of weapon]
And by the time that I'm done
Everyone will be singing your eulogy
Because the way that you treated me,
Honey, that was your funeral
And your tombstone reads
Here lies Sara
She broke a poet's heart
And poets always kiss and tell
We gathered here today
To see the [not-so] dear depart
And she will be missed
On days that seem so bad
[Vulgar infidelity]
Could be the best I ever had
Here lies Sara
She broke a poet's heart
And now she's just a line in a song
I can't believe the way that you blind sided me
I never saw it til it landed
This is like a Cursive albumn, baby
[It seems that I've caught you red handed]
And by the time that I'm done
This poem will be your obituary
It's rather fitting really
Since these are the last words I'm wasting on you
Sleep sound while you can
Pressed into chests
Where you shouldn't be kneading
Soothed by a stranger's heart beating
Thinking I didn't know you were cheating
But at the end of the day, when you look in the mirror
You have to know that you did me wrong
Losing me is the regret of a lifetime, baby
But you're just a line in a song.
Here lies Sara
She broke a poet's heart
And poets always kiss and tell
We gathered here to day
To see the [not-so] dear depart
And she will be missed
On days that seem so bad
[Vulgar infidelity]
Could be the best I ever had
Here lies Sara
She broke a poet's heart
And now she's just a line in a song

Been listening to a lot of FOB lately, and finally getting the rest of the way over my ex, i didn't intend for this to be a song originally, but it just sort of happened

This is wonderful. I really love how raw and real the emotions come out. I can feel the bitterness and hurt in this. The rhythm to this is great as well.

I'm glad to see you writing again, darling. You still leave me craving more with every line.
