about

The first version of this song happened a couple of years earlier, and was inspired by a story I heard. This version is much more intense; another couple of years down the road, this version became a true story.

lyrics

RATED R by K. Dennis

It began as something small
Subtle slights, forgotten courtesies
It evolved into something cold
Days of silence punctuated with hostilities
It erupted into shouts and tears
And new locks on the door
And me without the key

You changed so completely that it left my head spinning
You're like Jekyll and Hyde are you sure you don't need some medication?
And then you call me up to tell me I'm the reason you're devastated

Your turnabout left its mark on me
You're blind and bitter got revenge on your mind
You wrote letters full of detailed hate
And left them in places only I would find
I'm still amazed after all this pain
You still assume we'll resume our love someday

I think of the times not so long ago when we were happy
And then I think of the times you turned and screamed your nonsense at me
And then you call me up to tell me I'm the reason you're devasted

Well fuck you if you're devastated
You ruined my life
