Shakespearean Tragedy

Mikayla Williams

[Verse 1] I never thought that when 

I’d walk by you, I’d be scared for my life

But maybe I shouldn’t be

Because you said that you changed this time

[Chorus] I’m allowed to walk away, after you left me in the dust

Shakespearean tragedy, where the ones who were murdered were us

Double homicide; you shot me first; With my good arm, I put you in a hearse

With my last breathes, I said, “all I ever wanted was for us to make it out alive”

[Verse 2] How do you like your new girl? How do you like her?

Is she really pretty? Does she fight back when it hurts? 

Is she as innocent 

As I was?

You taught me a couple things

Like- not to solely rely on my hopes and dreams

And that I can make a life

For myself

[Chorus] I’m allowed to walk away, after you left me in the dust

Shakespearean tragedy, where the ones who were murdered were us

Double homicide; you shot me first; With my good arm, I put you in a hearse

With my last breathes, I said, “all I ever wanted was for us to make it out alive”

[Verse 3] I left you thirty calls and you didn’t answer once

I thought it was all over; that it was all a bust

But then I heard

A whisper

It’s weird, breathing in anger and relief

Know that I loved you

So…

Oohhh… 

[Outro] I’m allowed to walk away, after you left me in the dust

Shakespearean tragedy, where the ones who were murdered were us
