My Device

I walk alone
I tried my hand at something new
Without you
I'm better off
And on my own
I've fallen countless times but I've realized
I'm better off

I'm forgetting the mess that we were
Give and take
An eye for an eye
tooth for a tooth
sigh for a sigh
lie for a lie

Without you I'm better off
Without you I'm better off

You were my device
crutch that sustained me through life
Too crippled to put you aside
I never knew why
An eye for an eye
bruise for a bruise
Was never enough
To satisfy you
