A Simple Plan

Ever since you left,
The plan was to forget,
To pick up broken pieces and
Make whole the heart that bled.

See there was never doubt,
I had it all worked out,
You were gone so I would mend
But look what happens now.

From right out the blue,
This is just like you,
To turn my whole world upside down
You've come to see it through...

No, you are still the same,
And I'm so sick of playing,
I'm dizzy I can barely stand
You're messing with my brain.

I must recalibrate,
I won't capitulate,
No I will stay the course and my
Resolve you'll never break.

I who once believed,
Am full of disbelief,
So I will put the plot to motion
And cut what makes me bleed!
