Miss Lady Love

Miss Lady Love // thezimchick

It was a foolish thing to ever fall for
That something special, that something more
There’s no waking in the dark of night
When there’s no alarm-clock or morning light
That’s why she has her claws ‘round your soul
Scissor-like nails to keep it under control
And when push comes down to shove
She’ll rip you apart: Miss Lady Love

You thought you’d forget the feeling, (feeling)
But the gears in your head keep wheeling, (wheeling)
You thought you were in heaven, but you were just dreaming
And they left you broken hearted, screaming, (screaming)

Stuck in your mind like post-it notes
Everything they said, everything they wrote
She keeps the archive nice, tidy and neat
She wouldn’t want you to forget the deceit
It’s your fault, your loss, and you are to blame
Start shedding those tears, “Oh, what a shame”
Black-hearted and bitter, that vindictive little bitch
She’s that part of your brain you just can’t itch

Her laugh, it haunts you, ringing, (ringing)
Like a mockingbird just singing, (singing)
And although you think that you’re just dreaming
Reality breaks through screaming, (screaming)

But her merciless plight only gets worse
Reminding you of the last right down to the first
Hitting you around for the things you have done
You could’ve been happy if it weren’t for that one
Little mistake that keeps reiterating in your head
Instead of wishing for change, you wish you were dead
But there’s no turning back; what was, has been
There’s nothing left now but to let the pain settle in

But still you continue to keep hurting, (hurting)
She’s given you everything, warning after warning
And in these nightmares you’ll keep on dreaming
Only to find yourself alive and screaming

When push finally comes down to shove
She’ll defeat you and beat you
Worse than they’ll ever treat you
‘Cause she lives in us all
Miss Lady Love
