I saw it coming all along

A horribly familiar song

I hear my heartbeat in my ears

My thoughts whir shift click into gear

Yes, this is heartbreak, there's no doubt

But I chose to go down this route

He held me at arm's length but I dove in

I love too much, is that a sin?

Electricity vibrates in me, sounds like muttering

But it's no longer a pleasant fluttering

A roiling dread, it makes me sick

If this is to kill me, please make it quick

It hurts so good and reaches deep

The wrongness of it all makes me weep

To break me isn't what he meant to do

But all along I've been slowly breaking me too.
