One Hit Poem by Jade Leven

you told me over and over that it was just one night
but what if you didn't mention the other five hundred times
he's more than just some boy, he has love, he has a name
but the way you throw it around, I find it hard to believe that you have changed

I could have seen this coming from a mile away
you contradict your actions every time you say
you're sorry and he can handle it, because he knows that love gets rough
but I know, when you're shattering a heart, one hit is enough

sometimes I feel guilty for being so close to someone like you
you're everything I thought I hated, and you don't know what you put him through
are you growing up too fast, or am I growing up too slow?
and why does it kill me to see someone I love hurt someone I barely know

I could have seen this coming from a mile away
you contradict your actions every time you say
you're sorry and he can handle it, because he knows that love gets rough
but I know, when you're shattering a heart, one hit is enough

good intentions, pretty face
not so innocent, doesn't care for the catch, craves the chase

I could have seen this coming from a mile away
you contradict your actions every time you say
you're sorry and he can handle it, because he knows that love gets rough
but I know, when you're shattering a heart, one hit is enough

one hit is all it takes
one hit is enough
