Some People You Must Love Afar

Or you’ll only end up getting more scars.

They try to warn you Stay away from the ones that turn your heart black and blue The ones that tell you often, “I love you” It doesn’t mean anything when the actions are the opposite words of everything

You keep leaving me beaten on the street It’s like you have no heart; no empathy It’s always you or me But you know who you always choose You’re the golden boy So it’s always you

The punching bag can’t be me The money bag can’t be me The empathetic one can’t be me You see I’m at a loss I’ve reached the max of you using me

You’ve burned every good thing I’ve done for you You’ve lit a fire to my heart You took a bow and arrow and shot me with a dart I can’t take this kind of love anymore It’s not art It’s stupidity It’s insanity It’s something I need to get away from Before it’s the death of me

Some people you got to love from afar Or they’ll keep leaving you with bloody scars
