I think I'm going to be okay
Inch by inch, day by day
My heart's been broken times before
The pieces strengthened in my core.
...
Like brick through a glass door
I break every time
I shatter, I crumble
I scream and I cry
...
What happened to your stupid little house of cards?
That thing you worked so hard to build so delicately
All it took was one good blow
To break the barriers of your paper castle
...
You conned me, you liar
You sick little cheat
You fake slab of excrement
You deplorable creep
...
I hope you're enjoying the view from up there
Better than me, living life - not a care
Least of all me, far too late I found out
I was the space between rain and the drought.
