“Gun Shy”

Fighting a feeling oh so right

But emotionally deceiving

You rendered a picture in my head

Only to leave a portrait unappealing

Money talks to you

And you’re bull shit walks right through

Leaving me stunned and disbelieving

But I’ve grown wiser because of this

I’ll be weary of my next first kiss

Believe me the anger is still searing

Despite how you tainted my pride

I’ve come to realize I’m happy to be off of your ride

Twice bitten and gun shy

So now that I’m on to you

And the things that you do

I feel sorry for what you’re going to

Put your next prey through

Or maybe you’ll finally get what’s coming around to you

By then it will be to late for you to know what it means to be true

Such is life it cuts like a knife

Leaving thoughts scorched by old flames

And after all and in the end

The thoughts that I have are not of a friend

But a girl I once new and the feelings that once grew

Some how I ended up playing the part of the fool

Only to wind up with a head full of dread

And lost and lonely thoughts of you

Despite how you tainted my pride

I‘ve come to realize I’m happy to be off of you’re ride

Twice bitten and gun shy
