My Device

I walk alone

I tried my hand at something new

Without you

I’m better off

And on my own

I’ve fallen countless times but I’ve realized

I’m better off

I’m forgetting the mess that we were

Give and take

An eye for an eye

A tooth for a tooth

A sigh for a sigh

A lie for a lie

Without you I’m better off

Without you I’m better off

You were my device

A crutch that sustained me through life

Too crippled to put you aside

I never knew why

An eye for an eye

A bruise for a bruise

Was never enough

To satisfy you
