Mix of Emotions

my baby told me

she was leaving me today

i don’t know what to do

i don’t know what to say

she grabbed some bags

and started packing her stuff

from one room to the next

in a hurry in a huff

and i just stood there

chin, jaw and brain all slack

do i punch her fuckin head in

or do i help her fuckin pack

she told me she was leaving me

cause she’d found another guy

but she wasn’t going to elaborate

on the when the where and why

i’m still ignorantly confused

do i even try to plead my case?

deep inside the hurt becomes rage

i just wanted to kick her in the face

she said it was someone we both knew

and that i’d just have to learn to cope

If it wasn’t for a measure of self-control

I would have strangled her with a rope

this cant be real it isn’t fair

i babbled and mumbled like a child

then she said what she always says

when she wants to make me wild

she’s got me where she wants me

she knows which buttons to push

if i wasn’t in control of all of this anger

she’d be buried somewhere in the bush

her verbal assaults and petty emasculation

are really wearing very thin

when every instinct in my body

says to pop one right on her chin

every single twisted fibre

is telling me to rain on her parade

but i can’t i’m not allowed

so i may have just been saved
