Slap in the Face

I thought that I was doing fine

I smiled, I laughed, I cried

And out of all the three

The worst of them

Was the best of me

The other two were simply,

Forgotten

And your words

Were like a slap in the face

But they were my saving grace

And whoa; I'm kind of a mess

And you kind of realized that I guess

But no I'm not tearing this down

I'm not turning around now

You said '"You're gonna let someone in;

You're gonna need it in the end"

And much to my surprise

I let you in

You were different in my eyes

You saw through the lies

What now?

And your words

Were like a slap in the face

But they were my saving grace

And whoa; I'm kind of a mess

And you kind of realized that I guess

But no I'm not tearing this down

I'm not turning around now

No, I'm not breaking down, just for you.

No, I'm gonna see this through. 

I'm gonna be alright by myself.

But you said "One day you're gonna crumble

One day you're gonna fall,

And when that day comes no one will be there at all."

And your words

Were like a slap in the face

And now, I'm losing pace.

And my wall is finally coming down.

Whoa like a slap in the face.

But they were my saving grace.

And right now, I'm kind of a mess

And right now, that's okay I guess.

Because now I have someone there.

And now I don't really care;

If those words were like a slap in the face.

Oh no, and it's hard to erase

Those words,

So I'll follow them through.
