Ignorance

Meet a girl, fall in love, everything's great
Never knew love, could nurture such hate
They all caused, so much pain in the end
Tore great wounds, that don't ever mend

If only I could forget, forget them all
Maybe I could stand and not have to fall
Poor broken heart all battered and scarred
I let them all in, I lowered my guard

Now I'm nothing, but an empty shell
Sad memories trap me, here in my hell
I strive for freedom, with a fevered zeal
Looking for something, to help me heal

An old knife, I find stuffed in a drawer
Taking it gingerly I slump to the floor
Suddenly it's clear, I know what to do
I'll cut out the memories, of me and you

The blade so tightly clutched in my fist
Resting it against my defenceless wrist
Tell myself for them I won't weep
I press down hard cutting so deep

Closing my eyes I begin to pray
Unwanted memories slowly bleed away
So glad now that you I no longer miss
'Cause let's face it ignorance is bliss
