Failing Grade

We'd only heard of such betrayal
 through rumors before (Kept feeding the fire and finally we've had enough.)
 Until it showed itself alone at our front door (So distorted and bloated and dragged straight through the mud.)
 Don't flinch! I won't think twice to
 call your bluff
 And this time I won't be dragged
 through the wreckage and flood
 We've seen this all before!
 There's no one else but me to
 pull us - from the brink
 You'll see - the truth - compared
 to this mess you've made
 Maybe - someday you'll
 wake up from this fantasy
 And then - it will be too late for
 you to elevate this failing grade
 I know it frightens you to finally
 see the truth. (That love, hate and anguish was only a waste of time.)
 But if you only know the vice she had on you. (her grip on your swift decline.)
 A new chance to exercise our common
 grudge. A clean slate a promise forged on the fire in blood.
 We've seen this all before!
 There's no one else but me to
 pull us - from the brink
 You'll see - the truth - compared
 to this mess you've made
 Maybe - someday you'll
 wake up from this fantasy
 And then - it will be too late for
 you to elevate your game and save this failing grade
