Even

You can have everything, take it or leave it,
Whatever you leave will rot then I'll eat it,
You can go anywhere, as long as I'm not there,
Wherever you are, just make sure you're far,
And we'll call it even.

I made you your ego, sold it, you bought it,
Stretched out my hand, you took it, then bit it,
Replaced me, then left me, but still never happy,
But this is my story and you don't want them to know,
So I'll be quiet until I forget it,
And we'll call it even.

I'll go tell all my friends that you were a nice guy,
And you'll tell your friends that you never made me cry,
Even if it's a lie we told a hundred million times,
We'll tell it until it's nothing and then…
We'll call it even.

You can have any girl, as long as I don't know,
Whoever she is might rot then you'll eat it,
You can have anything, as long as it's not mine,
Whatever it is you can trash, I'm sure I won't want it,
And we'll call it even.

I was too serious and you just weren't ready,
To take me for who I am, I just wasn't good enough, 
I drained all your energy and made people hate you,
But that is your story and I don't want them to know,
So please be quiet until you forget,
And we'll call it even.

Admit to anyone who asks that we were together,
And I'll admit that I was a fool and wanted no other,
Not that anyone denies us, we do that to ourselves,
So we'll admit it 'till we accept it and then…
We'll call it even.

We'll call it even.
We'll call it even.

Author's Note

This is a really old piece and was inspired from a song from the Dresden Doll's called Truce. Hope you all enjoy.
