Caliber - Grieves, Saint Claire

The first warning left you crying in the street

I tried to talk you off the ledge but you leaped

And it was so far beyond me

Like how could that sad little man put his hands on a queen?

I was tryna find a way that I could put him in the ground

Dancing with the devil telling me to settle down

I couldn’t get it why you would let him stick around

Love will never be defined by the fear that one surrounds you with

Yeah, well, you were never listening

Walking off the fiery peer into the dissonance

I tried calling but it never made a difference

The poison got a hold of you and left you on the missing list

He put his hands on you, he should die for that

I wish you weren’t so purposefully blind to that

I told you I that I’d always have your back

So I brought the Nighthawk .45 to remind him that

Cut like a knife blade

Under the skin

Fire on the water

Smoke in the wind

Blood in the driveway

And tears on the phone

I said I’m coming

Got a bullet with his name on it

Bullet with his name on it

Bullet with his name on it

The second warning left you hiding in the house

You called crying, I was lying on the couch

I was 3 states away begging you to get out

He was poisoning your mind with the words from his mouth, girl

You always stayed so sympathetic to him

Said that life had been a bitch and if you left that it would ruin him

But you don’t see the value in yourself

He abused your loving nature to keep you inside his hell, but

What the fuck do I know, right?

Been in love with you forever, never took that flight

I won’t ever understand why you let that guy

Do the things he did to you while the rest stand by, I mean

I guess I’m never gonna get it

Like, how the fuck could I from my privileged position

I’m just tryin' to get it through to you how much you’re worth

Glock 40 in the pack incase I see him first, motherfucker

Cut like a knife blade

Under the skin

Fire on the water

Smoke in the wind

Blood in the driveway

And tears on the phone

I said I’m coming

Got a bullet with his name on it

Bullet with his name on it

Bullet with his name on it
