Elementary Homicide

By Heart of Stone

You'd think that after so long
You would grow up
But you are still playing all of your elementary games
One of these days you will realize
That it is time
It is time for you to let go
Of all the drama and gossip
Stop trying so hard to impress the people
The people that don't matter
You rip others apart
In order to bring glory to yourself
Your mutilated view of life is going to kill you
One day you will make this mistake
With the wrong person
With someone who won't let it go
Like I do
And when that happens
I hope that you cry
All of the tears I cried
When you made me the victim
Of your elementary homicides.
