Wicked Heart

This is a poem/song lyrics I wrote for a situation that happened in my life.

You can cover your eyes and pretend you don’t see a thing
But we all know you have mastered playing this game
You pretend that you are innocent and always the victim
You act as if you are blameless and put it all on him
You talk about God and preach, oh so innocently you speak
All the while, preying your wicked heart on the weak

Oh but girl, you are burning your bridges
You’ll be the one left crying in the end
This is the real world, girl
No one is playing pretend
You’ll be the one left crying in the end

You try to play house like there is some white picket fence
Perfect life, perfect family, perfect friends
Oh, didn’t your momma ever tell you, girl
Nothing is perfect in this sweet, sweet world
Yeah, I know you didn’t grow up with a silver spoon
Your momma didn’t teach you to jump for the moon
In fact, you had it pretty rough
Guess what? LIFE IS TOUGH
But, it is time to grow up, move on and get your life on track
You should start by learning not to stab people in the back

Oh but girl, you have burnt your bridges
You are the one left crying in the end
This is the real world, girl
No one is playing pretend
You are the one left crying in the end

You tried to break us but you were not strong enough
We are still together and even more in love
We were weak and both had our backs turned
Girl, you showed us what we needed to learn
We won’t make the same mistakes again
And you will still be the one crying in the end.
