Smooth

You took everything for granted,

And now you’re alone,

You’re stuck, feet are firmly planted,

I guess you’ll never learn.

Worse luck, that you’re even more enchanting,

After you touched it and burned.

 

You took the pain out of love,

And swallowed it whole but,

The pill didn’t go down smooth.

Now you’re a mess and

Convincing yourself that

You’ve got them all fooled.

 

I said, think of what you’re doing,

The enemy you’d make,

I said, think of all your losing,

By not taking the time it takes.

I said, you know you would be choosing,

Something short-term over something  worth taking.

 

You took the pain out of love,

And swallowed it whole but,

The pill didn’t go down smooth.

You changed your mind,

And you can’t do that,

When you’re already halfway through.

 

You’ll make it through.

 

You took the pain out of love,

And swallowed it whole but,

The pill didn’t go down smooth.

Now you’re a mess and

Convincing yourself that

You can still make it through.

But you’re not fooled.
