She was standing next to me
I was fuming.
It was the day they punished Niambi
I know you love her boy
But trust me
She's just an expendable toy
Beautiful and skilled players by nature
They're all the same
Women!
Eventually you almost always lose the game

She's different I protested
Honest, sweet and kind
Unlike anybody
My soul mate
Best damn thing that ever happened to me

She was unfazed
The proverbial ice queen
You're young, you'll learn in time
The thing in your eyes
Is worth much more than a kiss and a dime
Don't waste it on creatures like these
Take them when you need them
Do as you please
The feelings you have now are best left
For the foolish and the fallible
Silly emotions!
Bury them here and stop being so gullible

Ignored her and reached for the woman who
would be my wife
She knocked me on my ass 
And…
Banished her for life
I reached down for my weapon in a blaze
of fury and…
Lost.
She was ready
Framed a single question
On the heels of my wounded pride.
Why?
Love hurts, she says…
And…
Daemons aren't suppose to cry

Slinked away 
And…
Fell in love another day

She came back this morning
Appeared as usual
Without warning
Had a feeling before she spoke
I did and didn't want to know
It was the look that says
I told you so
You've failed yet another test
And... 
Mothers always know best

Kill her, she says
I said NO
She shrugs and leaves
Unwilling to pick another fight
I'm the “man” now
Wrong or right
Twice in a thousand years
Miniscule
But for regal predators like us
That is not in anyway cool
So now I'll fade to black, conform to the
spirit of the creature that I've become
Cold and heartless as the ghost that I am
Today…
No explanation, no strings
I'll simply just walk away
Betrayal and blood on my mind
Pain in my heart
Another sad song with no rhyme

So if the ex should ask you why
Tell her
Love hurts
And…
Daemons aren't suppose to cry
