Short Fuse Lyrics

The hits keep coming at me

Some bounce off but some get under my skin

Where they fester within

The lies cut me so deeply

I can't ignore

The malicious intent

Escalation was meant

There was a time when I could smile

And let it go, cool off for a while

But now my fuse is short

Counting down

The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode

I'm past counting to ten

A short walk will not restore all my faith

Some things can't be erased

There was a time when I could smile

And let it go, cool off

But now my fuse is short

Counting down

The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode

There was a time when I could try

Before the rage had built this high

But now my fuse is short

Counting down

The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode

I never wanted this

I never thought I could be this cold, this hard, this unforgiving

I never thought I would make this sound

That I could burn it down

That I could turn my back and walk away

There was a time when I could smile

And let it go, cool off for a while

But now my fuse is short

Counting down

The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode

There was a time when I could try

Before the rage had built this high

But now my fuse is short

Counting down

The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode
