The Break Up

Don’t paint the picture in color when it’s black and white

Or decorate a wrong to make it look more right

Don’t glaze or sugar coat when it’s not something sweet

Or dance like there is music when there is no beat

Don’t sing a happy song when it’s time to sing a dirge

Or fill what is empty when it’s time to purge

Don’t try and make light what weighs heavy on my soul

Or call it a diamond when it’s a chunk of coal

Don’t try and spare my feelings when it’s really your own

Or give me excuses to cover up what’s wrong

Don’t ask if we can still be friends just turn and walk away

I wouldn’t say never, but it’s not happening today
