Love Suicide

LOVE SUICIDE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I’ve killed all my secrets

I’ve swallowed my pride

I’ve lived in the shadows

Of love suicide

I’ve cared about nothing

And nothing is all I ever got back from you

You’ve done what you came for

You’ve accomplished a lot

You’ve taken everything from me

Everything I got

You’ve never cared for tomorrow

And now yesterday is gone away too

These are not the tears that I cry

They’re just water that’s dropping from the sky

And though sometimes I feel like I just want to die

It’s not enough for me to commit love suicide

I’ve learned to deal with life

I’ve worked oh, so hard

I’ve danced under bridges

With many a broken heart

I’ve worried about everything

And everything has left me far behind

You’ve settled in real easy

You’ve moved on down the line

You’ve taken pictures of my pain

Amid a love suicide

You’ve never gave a second thought

And now thinking is done inside your mind

These are not the tears that I cry

They’re just water that’s dropping from the sky

And though sometimes I feel like I just want to die

It’s not enough for me to commit love suicide

In and out of consciousness, I drift like an oceans lonely tide

In and out of angriness, I settle in for another long hard night

But I know in the morning when the sunshine reigns again

I will have washed away your memory and then

I’ll wash it away again

I’ve killed all my secrets

I’ve swallowed my pride

I’ve lived in the shadows

Of love suicide

I’ve cared about nothing

And nothing is all I ever got back from you

These are not the tears that I cry

They’re just water that’s dropping from the sky

And though sometimes I feel like I just want to die

It’s not enough for me to commit love suicide

And though sometimes I still think about you

In the darkest of nights

You’re not enough for me to commit love suicide

Love suicide? …  Not tonight!
