Once Before

I've seen this
more than one time.

Girls getting damaged
over guys who just decide to leave..

Broken hearts need to be bandaged.

They'll find another you
in a week or two.

Breaking every promise ever made,
and you take back anything you ever forgave.

Soon enough, you'll be well.
How long?
Time will tell.

Soon you won't remember the eyes,
but you'll always remember the lies.

Commit them to memory,
the lesson learned,
close to it you'll keep.

A wall built
in a matter of heartbreaks,
some tears,
and learning from mistakes.

Close them off
to keep you in.

They don't need to see that part of you,
let them play their violin.

Walls, walls,
they won't fall.
Try to climb over,
and you'll see,
but you'll need the skeleton key.

That she gives to no one,
anymore.
She already tried that,
once before.
