Even?

Held me in your arms
Late at night
So peaceful so calm
No way it was right

I shun away
I've got a secret, I say
Your heart beat slow and breath so faint
Watching you take my unnecessary pain

I may have hurt you then
And I tried so hard to fix it
But you fired the bullet
So now we're even

Making you hear the lies
That poisoned my mind
Inject them in like heroin
Addiction has become my sin

But I remember
When you ignored me late November
I was lying in my awaiting fate
While you talked about your new date

I may have hurt you then
And I tried so hard to fix it
But you fired the bullet
So now we're even

He better treat you well
Better than I had pretended to tell
You deserve so much more
Than what I tried too sell you for
Thank you and so long
Apart is where we belong

Before I wanted nothing to do with love
Then you wanted me back and to start anew
So I would shove
Those feelings away but if only I knew

I may have hurt you then
And I tried so hard to fix it
But you fired the bullet
So now we're even

He better treat you well
Better than I had pretended to tell
You deserve so much more
Than what I tried too sell you for
Thank you and goodbye
My last heart broken cry

You go on with your life
And I'll go on with mine
We'll still have the memories
That's all they’ll ever be

This is a lyric I've been wanting to write about my ex for a very long while. Got the idea when torn between two feelings best described through Hinder's "Better than Me" and Three days grace's "Gone forever." My boyfriend said is was the first lyrics I wrote about them, free from anger and pain. Just simply. I hurt you. YOu hurt me. Let's call it even and be done with.

So sad, so heart-wrenching. Memories are very valuable to the person that has little actions to look forward to, that's what makes a broken heart a very deadly injury. ^^ I liked this piece, very much so. Great work on the relative rhyme scheme and also the chorus which still rings in my ears.

The flow seems a bit off in places, given the mixed syllable count, but given that it's lyrics, I can let that slide. There's once verse that completely busts up the rhyme scheme...
"I may have hurt you then
And I tried so hard to fix it
But you fired the bullet
So now we're even "

It doesn't really work at all.
Everything else seems well in place.
I mean, I personally dislike this whole genre, but this was pretty classy.

Ex's suck. Unless they become your friends. I have one ex who is a friend, one I'm not sure about (friend or foe?) and one boyfriend. zvery complicated. How about you?
