BAD SCENE

Ain’t interested in taking this exit again. 

It’s like you don’t know who I am nor what I just said. 

The scattered debris of you and me will not be ignored. 

I’ve doused your drive in kerosene and locked you out my door. 

 

You gotta do more 

Than say you’ll change! 

I need action with results, cause I’m 

 

Walkin away from a bad scene, bad scene 

Before I burst into flames. 

I’m not the author of your bad dream, bad dream- 

Just another perspective to entertain… 

 

You call me up crying, “Tell me, what have I done?” 

And I gotta wonder aren’t the scars on my face enough? 

You try to persuade the blood in our veins make us one. 

I hate to break it to you lady, blood don’t equal love! 

 

You gotta do more 

Than say you’ll change! 

I need action with results, cause I’m 

 

Walkin away from a bad scene, bad scene 

Before I burst into flames. 

I’m not the author of your bad dream, bad dream- 

Just another perspective to entertain… 

 

Love is the word you say 

When you’re desperate to get your way. 

Do you even know the difference? 

Or is this just my experience? 

An orphan I remain, 

And I’m okay with that! 

 

You gotta do more 

Than say you’ll change! 

I need actions with results, cause 

Every time we speak 

It’s the same thing: 

 No respect for boundaries, so I’m 

 

Walkin away from a bad scene, bad scene 

Before I burst into flames. 

I’m not the author of your bad dream, bad dream- 

Just another perspective to entertain…
