Hangnail

I don’t wanna see your face again.

This feeling’s overrated.

I don’t wanna waste another second

Of my life on you.

I don’t wanna be another failure.

Our time is antiquated.

I don’t wanna wait for this to end…

You’re not a part of me anymore,

You’re just another hangnail.

I’m not sorry that you don’t understand

Why it’s too late to atone.

Did I not meet your golden standard?

Or were you just too scared to be alone?

Well lately I’ve been thinking that we should’ve already gone our separate ways.

When discourse is the driving force

Behind all actions made.

Rest assured, we will end in vain.

As clear as daylight disappearing you were never there.

I know it’s easier to say we never cared.

Afraid to cross that finish line,

No you would never dare.

I know easier to say we never cared.

We’ve reached the end.

You’re not a part of me anymore

You’re just another hangnail!

Naïvety lingered in my soul.

Years in payment, a constant toll.

Too bad to be you when you don’t get your way,

Get used to it, the disappointment’s here to stay.

I know I need to close this door

Keep it locked up tight.

Depravity is just a few steps away.

Depravity is just a few steps away.

Bite my tongue to numb the pain,

Mutilation just to feel something.

The smoke from bridges burned now fills the air.

I don’t want to see your face again.

As clear as daylight disappearing you were never there.

I know it’s easier to say we never cared.

Afraid to cross that finish line,

No you would never dare.

I know easier to say we never cared.

We’ve reached the end.

You’re not a part of me anymore,

You’re just another hangnail!

Holding on tight, holding on tight.

Holding on,

Holding on tight, holding on tight.

You said we would be better than this.

I need to purge my life of the hypocrites.

So one sided, fake compliance

No you can’t deny it.

Promise breaking, dissipating.

You can’t erase me.

As clear as daylight disappearing you were never there.

I know that it’s easier to say you never cared.

Afraid to cross that finish line,

No you would never dare.

I know easier to say we never cared.

We fed each other poison

Like a cancer, darkness came

Would it be easier for me to take the blame?

Erase my expectations of everything we ever shared,

I know it’s easier to say we never cared.

We’ve reached the end!

You’re not a part of me anymore,

You’re just another hangnail!

Holding on tight, holding on tight

Holding on.
