Sweet Irony

 

She protected her heart like it was her life

Broken too many times to count or care

She’s beaten and bruised and kicked around,

Used and moved to somewhere else

She hides inside herself

 

Isn’t funny how the only one

She couldn’t protect herself from

Was herself?

 

Oh sweet irony, take me home again

Kill sweet irony, killing hearts of man

Oh sweet irony, take me back again

Kill sweet irony, killing hearts of man

 

He was always the quiet one in the room

Wall flower, no one would’ve even missed him there

He was ignored and shunned by everyone,

Taking it in with what he couldn’t bear.

His escape was one unknown,

Always the good kid, no one would’ve expected this

 

Isn’t it funny how the only thing that took him away

Was the bottom of an empty bottle,

Just to live for another day alone

 

Oh sweet irony, take me home again

Kill sweet irony, killing hearts of man

Oh sweet irony, taking them home again

Kill sweet irony, killing hearts of man

 

She always said she was in love with him

Each guy that came along, she swore he was the one

And they all broke her heart, again and again

Her friends loved her, but she felt too used

 

She never told anyone,

Except that she told everyone

And when she finally did the deed,

Was anyone really surprised?

 

Isn’t it funny how the only thing

She couldn’t love was herself?

 

Oh sweet irony, take me home again

Kill sweet irony, killing hearts of man

Oh sweet irony, you’ll take them home again

Kill sweet irony, killing hearts of man

 

Sweet irony, taking lives and dreams

Sweet irony, taking everything that seems good

Sweet irony, killing hearts of man

Sweet irony, taking them all

Well take them home again
