Music and lyrics by Stephanie Forryan

lyrics

I have written so many letters, my hands bled
I am tired of worshiping paths that your feet tread
You have shut the door tightly, locked it and swallowed the key
And even though I am five thousand miles away I can see bridges burning…

It was ten years ago exactly today
That you took three years of hard work and just through them away
Although I really can’t say that I’m constantly suffering
Now and then I can feel the knife deep in my back, when it’s twisting…

Jessica
You took the side of the bad guy – got taken in by the evil grin of the vampire
Never asked me why. You never called to say good bye.
You don’t answer me when I write, don’t even try
You took the wrong side

There have been too many cases for me to count
Where you left me feeling down and out
Do you remember the day that we found the fork in the road
And you left me standing alone in the freezing cold?

Jessica
You took the side of the bad guy – got taken in by the evil grin of the vampire
Never asked me why. You never called to say good bye.
You don’t answer me when I write, don’t even try
You took the wrong side

Now I’m on the other side of the ocean
Only vaguely aware of the plans set in motion
No matter the number of wires laid
You won’t call back because you don’t feel I’ve paid.

You have followed me this far even though you never left home
You keep on trying to prove to me how much you’ve grown
But now I’m finally fed up, my patience is wearing thin
No matter what you think you have no idea who I am…

Jessica
You took the side of the bad guy – got taken in by the evil grin of the vampire
Never asked me why. You never called to say good bye.
You don’t answer me when I write, don’t even try
You took the wrong side
