Hopelessly Heartless

I’m beginning to wonder if there’s something wrong with me

I should feel guilty over this; hell, I should at least feel something

So when I tell you that I’m sorry after I break you apart

You still won’t see the void where there should be a heart

Because I’ve done this before

Practiced on dozens, maybe more

And so the shattered, scattered, lonely souls who cannot help

   themselves but follow as I spiral out of control

Are as blind as you, so no one sees the damage that’s surrounding

   me, I may as well have caused deliberately

So take your place among the others

I will forget your face

Go back to your girl, she’s waiting

And you don’t deserve to drown in my wake

I’m an Ice Queen, I’m a Vixen, and if you stay I’ll bleed you dry

Until you’re nothing but a shell with faded dreams and empty eyes

So when I tell you that I’m sorry after I leave you destroyed

I’ll feel no remorse discarding another broken toy

So take your place among the others

You are just another face

In a long list of shallow tricks

Of scars and old mistakes

I never meant to be like I’ve become

Honestly, I never meant to hurt anyone

But I can’t help myself, and I’m sure

There’s a special place in hell reserved

For those who have done what I have done

And once upon a time, I was as broken as you’ll be

I’m not saying that it’s right, I only do what’s done to me

So take your place among the others

I will forget your face

So go back to your girl, she’s waiting

And you deserve better than I ever gave
