Dear God; You Can't Fire Me, I QUIT!

Alright. Here's another song I found on my computer that I wrote a while back. It's about another friend of mine and HIS break up with his girlfriend. I took some of the lines directly from his mouth, like "but next time have some decency to tell him you don't love him anymore".

Long story short, it's about a boy who is writing what I can only imagine is like a suicide note to his lover because he saw her with another man. He's talking about how he doesn't have the will to move on. He doesn't want to move on. He loves her, but he can't forgive her.

Either that's the background story, or he's actually telling her up front about it all... I'm not sure... I wrote it a long time ago. It's less of a song and more of a story, but in song form? Not my best work, but it fits the scenario he was in.

NAME:
Dear God; You've Had Me Believing Every Line She Said To Me And To Think You Want Me To Get Past This, Well Here's Something Predictable That You've Probably Seen Before, It's A Gun, A Gun To My Head, Yes, Here's The Bullet In My Body, Here's To You God, For Keeping Me Alive, You Can't Fire Me, I Quit!

Lyrics:
Hello, my love
My life was up to you, then you lost me
I saw you with him right in front of me
So when you leave tonight I hope you know I wish you well
But next time have some decency to tell him you don't love him anymore
Maybe then they wont have to live in the pitiful realization
They couldn't fulfill your love and needs

Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't
Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't

You had control of my heart
Everything I own was yours to make or break, girl
You broke it all, and I'm not sure I have enough heart to bounce back up
Maybe I could get over you, just maybe I could move on
But how could that change anything you've done to me?
I still would have to live with that.
If you wanted to kill me, you could have just shot me
But now there is no turning back

Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't
Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't

I'll throw you a gun, I'll catch the bullet you throw back to me
I'll give you a reason to cry, won't change the amount of times I did it
I'll make you feel bad for me thru telling you that I don't miss a thing about you
I'll tell you anything to make you feel like I don't love you anymore
But really, nothing I could ever do could make myself get past this
I love you, I love you, I hope you are happy, I hope you get past this.
I just know, I don't have the will to live

Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't
Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't
Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't
Don't ask me if it's loaded
I won't say that it isn't
Etc.

That's because I was obsessed with long titles when I wrote it. The real name is the name of the thread.
