Array ( [sid] => 23758 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Take or Leave it [time] => 2003-09-24 21:05:00 [hometext] => What can I say...you played with a life, and no matter how insignificant that life is to you, it was still a life, and it was mine. [bodytext] => Why you acting like that, like you’re so innocent?
Why are you smiling as you brush me aside?
Why did I let you choose me to torment?
Who gave you MY right to decide?

Who will be there for me, like I was there for you?
Will anyone else hate me as much as you did?
Why did you have to hurt me by being untrue?
Why did you have to keep your deceitful personality hid?

Could you maybe kill my heart a little more?
Could you stab me any harder with that blunted knife?
Is this the reaction you hoped for?
Or do you want to take my life?

Because if you want it, I am giving it to you,
I sure as hell hope it’s not what you expected,
Because my blood is red and not see through,
And unlike yours, it’s not deceitfully infected.

Aren’t you the one to decide whether to hurt me or not?
I am the one that has left you so far behind,
But the pain will not leave me no matter what,
It has made a home in my heart, body and mind.

But still my life I give you, come and get it from me,
I’ll hold it away from me, I don’t want to look,
My blood, my life, I will know but not see,
That it was you, oh yes my life you took.
