What Goes Around Comes Around
To the ones you left behind.
Were we not worth your time?
We never heard you say goodbye.
We never got a reason why.
Here’s to you who couldn’t see.
What it was you did to me.
Now you’ve thrown it all away.
Now there’s nothing left to say.
I am living in the shadow, love.
The shadow of your tragic love.
The darkness you’ve left me with.
Along with others that are miffed.
Players only love you when they’re playing.
The lives you ruin is wrong, I am saying.
Revenge is mine along with the others.
The day is coming when we’ll have our druthers.
Did you think you could go on forever?
Destroying others lives like they never
existed, except for your personal pleasure.
That will change. I am no mystic sayer.
But, I know when I speak the truth.
You have been doomed from your youth.
Your past conquests will raise up.
That will be the end of your luck.
Love will have a different meaning after that.
You will change your ways and that’s a fact.
You will be loving, kind, considerate, & more.
You will show no one to the door.
Your days as a player will be over.
You’ll spend your time lying in clover.
With the one you truly adore.
Praying she won’t think you’re a bore.
Always, you will be in fear.
She will dump you like dumping a beer.
She will walk away & rip your heart out.
You’ll remember that is what life was about.
