Locking yourself up with such things, letting them stir, using these pure psychic creations as raw material, and deciding, each time, how much or little you’re going to participate in your own act of creation, just what you’ll stake, what are the odds, just how far are you going to go – that’s called being a writer. And you do it alone in a room.


Do you remember those late night conversations?
We would tell each other everything.
I was messed up and you were broken.
No words were left unspoken.

Now that's a distant memory.
You walked away without a warning.
I was left defeated and confused.
I didn't know how to live without you.

But I should have known from the start that you would be the one to screw me over.
I kept thinking things would change but that couldn't be much further from the truth.
There's no more me and you,
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I can't take back those things I said.
But you should know I'd do it all again.

Were in it for the long haul?
Or were you justing waiting for me to fall  truly and completely in love with you?

Well you got your wish.
I fell for you and you couldn't care less .
So stay far away
Come any closer and I'll make you pay.
I'll make you pay.

I should have known from the start that you would be the one to screw me over.
I kept thinking things would change but that couldn't be much further from the truth.
There's no more me and you,
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I can't take back those things I said.
But you should know I'd do it all again.

If I could go back in time,
I wouldn't change a single thing we did.
I got screwed over, but I turned out fine in the end.

I  wish I'd known
I just wish I'd known.
I should've known

I should have known from the start that you would be the one to screw me over.
I kept thinking things would change but that couldn't be much further from the truth.
There's no more me and you,
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I can't take back those things I said.
But you should know I'd do it all again.
