The Zoo

The Zoo

We had the whole weekend planned from the start
That night when I foolishly handed you my heart
You and me on our own
Camping overnight at the zoo
I couldn't have known
That's when we'd be through

It was a fight about a fight
Where no one could be awarded right
Your torrid might unexpectedly exploded
Accusatory finger thrown in my face, in fear
Held at gunpoint, your insults were loaded
Wish I could be replaced anyplace but here

Blamed my drama on being American
You probly can't remember, but I still can
In our pitched tent
Inside you went
As you took me from above
We made something in that tent
It no longer was love
Just a mess
I redressed
Cried alone in the bathroom stall
When I came back
You reacted
Like the whole scene was redacted
Like nothing had happened at all
I suppressed
Hid my tears in a cough
We kept going, but really
That's when I called it all off

A zoo is for families
Children and parents
They can spot out fallacies
And ours was apparent
The animals were joyous
They watched as you destroyed us
Thought I mattered more to you
But what's a girl to do
Shattered at the zoo

I waited for your apology
But when you spoke
You proposed to me
As a joke
I would have said okay
If only you meant it
I'm your three-month holiday
But that's not how I spent it
I guess I was delerious
To believe that we were serious
At least I was for you
But what's a girl to do
Engaged in rage
While trapped in a cage at the zoo

You and me, we were doomed from the start
I regret, can't forget, should have rolled up the heart
Safety-pinned to my sleeve
When I woke up next to you
I wish I didn't leave
Before I spoke up to you
I'm left to bereave
Train myself to believe
We broke up at the zoo
We broke up at the zoo
We broke up at the zoo
