Death By Forfeit

(Karianne Gabaldon)

If you’ve ever had someone leave you or break your heart for no apparent reason, you can relate to these lyrics. It took years of wanting closure, just something to bring me peace. It turns out that leaving it all behind is easier. It’s just death by forfeit.

(Verse 1) 
 
Someday I’ll understand the reason, 
They left me in the dirt. 
Having found that ounce of freedom, 
I’ve fallen down face first. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Because they stole the bounce in my step, 
There’s not a spring in me left, 
My skeptical belief lead 
Death by forfeit. 
 
Brought apples to the table, 
But they were poisoned fables, 
Don’t think I will be able, 
Death by forfeit. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
The phone calls lasted for a lifetime, 
At least as long as sex. 
It wasn’t long until he was mine, 
Then right away my ex. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
The times I worried all night, 
I couldn’t put up a fight, 
Thought everything was alright, 
Death by forfeit. 
 
My crystal ball, it told me, 
It’s not the future I see, 
Me watching you betray me, 
Death by forfeit. 
 
(Bridge) 
 
I told you that everyone leaves, 
You promised that you’d stay with me. 
Sometimes you just can’t trust, 
The trustworthy they’ll turn to dust. 
The sadness barges down my door, 
And when with you, infatuation pure. 
But you know how that goes, 
Life just gives you a heavy load. 
 
One minute passes, the next treads behind, 
I never was ready to make you XXXXX
