"Last On The List"



You did more that day than break my face
You snapped my life into view
A broken bone may hurt but I feel no pain
You’re crime helped me to understand

I’ve always chased the wrong guy
None have been worth my time
Although I’ve wasted too much
You took the last of my innocence

You’re the last on the list
Of the men who were not true
You’re the last on the list
My next will be better than you
You’re the last on the list
You fit in well with the rest
You’re the last on the list
The next one will pass the test

Up until you snapped and flipped on me
I wasn’t sure of my choice
It was when my blood pooled on your hardwood floors
That my every doubt left my brain

You’re not breaking the cycle
You just made it go round
I’ve spun out and now I see
Your ride was dangerous to my health

You’re the last on the list
Of the men who will hurt me
You’re the last on the list
I always knew but now I see
You’re the last on the list
And just like rest of them
You’re the last on the list
I’ve put you where you belong

I prayed that you would be last
I should have been careful what I wished for
Instead of my forever
You were just an ending
To a chapter, a turning point
Not a book, not my life
