[Verse 1]
Yeah you got, everything
Growing up was a fantasy
A big guy, hot shot
I was all you hadn't got, yet

Humans use words
Your're a creature from another world
Because, you speak
Through mirrors and money

So I picked up your tool box
Collecting dust under your bed
You were a piece of work
I replay it in my head

[Chorus]
I brought a crowbar to open your heart
Brought a chainsaw to tear it apart
Brought a wrench to loosen your grip on me, oh oh oh

Brought a hammer to sink in deep
Brought pliers to pull me outta the heat
Brought goggles so you could see
Ooh you ain't got me, no, ooh you ain't got me

[Verse 2]
Treat me, like dirt
No respect when you assert
Selfish, ego
Better change or I'm gonna go

You're no, real man
I'm ashamed I was your girlfriend
That's right, past tense
No more, never again

And I picked up your tool box
Collecting dust under your bed
You were a piece of work
I replay it in my head

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
So stop your angry glaring
It ain't gettin' to me
Yeah right back I'll be starin'
My gun at the ready

Sometimes you just can't fix
Someone who don't wanna mend
That's when you abandon ship
Destroy the evidence

'Cause it didn't work when

[Chorus]


The author's comments:
There's always that one player who thinks he can get any girl he wants, but this song is about a girl who decides to turn the tables and give him a taste of his own medicine. But, in the end she decides it isn't enough just to make him suffer, so she pulls one last tool out of her tool box; a shotgun.

Wow. I commented on the actual post but I'll say it again, that was a great use of metaphor!

Preach... I have felt the exact same way several times... You just put it in words I never thought of.. Very clever.
