Make Peace With The Last Of Me

 

Not the man you wanted me to be

too strong to be a failure

too just to be an enemy

lay down your arms

and make peace with the last of me.

 

Sure I threw that wrench in your ingenious machine

you made believe you had it all

your dream was pristine

and I just couldn’t stand to let you hang

on your own delusions.

 

Sooner or later you were bound to take a fall

sooner or later, you were bound to give me a call

how am I the villian

for being around to pick up the phone?

It isn’t fair to either of us

to blame me for your confusion.

 

I know I’m not the nemesis that you need

we’re both criminals of the heart

deserters lost at sea

so fall into my arms

and make peace with the last of me.
