The Sting

THE STING - Written by Carroll Bryant

It’s been exasperating

Relationships can take a lot out of you

It’s not that I’m complaining

Even though sometimes I think I do

It’s been exhilarating

Despite knowing that you’re facing the end

Sure enough you know it’s raining

But the sun will pop back out again

It always seems to start with promises in the dark

Amnesia ensues with the light of the day

Then it all comes crashing down

And you lay there on the ground

Trying to analyze every single thing

So then it all just falls apart

And you can feel it in your heart

Dealing with the pain and suffering

Then you feel the sting

It’s now excruciating

Memories can take time to fade

So far you feel like fainting

From losing everything you made

It’s now perpetuating

Emotions that don’t seem to heal

Your soul’s evacuating

Everything you used to feel

There always seems to be something that she can’t see

Euphoria arrives a day too late

Then it all comes crashing down

And you lay there on the ground

Trying to analyze every single thing

So then it all just falls apart

And you can feel it in your heart

Dealing with the pain and suffering

Then you feel the sting

It always seems to end as enemies and never friends

The result of never having anything more to say

Then it all comes crashing down

And you lay there on the ground

Trying to analyze every single thing

So then it all just falls apart

And you can feel it in your heart

Dealing with the pain and suffering

Then it all comes back to you

Always racing to find the proof

Pieces of the puzzle can’t fit or anything

So then it all just disappears

You can feel it in the air

Dealing with the art of beggaring

Then you feel the sting

You can feel the sting
