We dream, we love, we cry
We live, we strive, we die
No matter what, it's the same fucking cycle
Long bloody wars, the never-ending battles
And I want out, I want to run away
From the life I'm doomed, from the words they have to say
So go on, pull that trigger
Maybe in death, there is something better.
My heart aches as you walk near
You, who've once taken everything I held dear
You have some nerve to come to me
When you made certain to ruin who I could be
Are you here to gloat, parade your victory?
I want to go, but you won't set me free
And I'm tired, I have nothing left to give
I wish you wouldn't come back once you leave.
I can freely admit that I didn't deserve them. Not then. Not with all the pain I've caused them.
I just checked this out, and wow, thank you for introducing me to such a beautiful song. It does remind me of our dynamic. She was love of course, and I was hate.
I knew I loved you then, but I didn't tell
You've only fallen and I wasn't well
Cold, cold days with arms wrapped mine
Flowers were wilting, and you're looking for a sign
I want to be better, you want me to be yours
I keep screaming, screaming 'till my voice is hoarse
But you didn't know, didn't know 'cause you were deaf and blinded
I was paralyzed, trying to be found, you're lost, we're both stranded
I was rage, you were kindness, we made a home out of lies
Second chances, third ones, a promise that flies
A pair of wings growing while one withers away
I will never deserve you, I didn't ask for you to stay.
Tears racing down my cheeks
I'm trying to find the words but I can't speak
My hands tightly clutching your shirt
Your eyes full of confidence and mirth
Here's another girl running after you
Foolish enough to believe that your promises were true
You smirked and pried me away
Saying, I'm too boring to make you stay
With that, you turned your back
An offhand comment wishing me luck
My knees buckled as I accept defeat
This is karma, so swift and sweet.
We trip and stumble around
We're lost, but we don't want to be found
This is our own little paradise
Away from the world and its lies
And for a moment, there's only love
We can't let them taint what we have
So please, stay a little longer
I'm not yet ready for this fantasy to shatter.
I want to write everything that doesn't make sense
About you, the moonlight, the fence
But even if I did manage to put them into words
It won't be different, still the same repetitive chords.
I float, empty, a husk
In solitude, I bask
Don't let me, don't let me drown
Fill this void and anchor me down.
My waters are murky and most people are afraid to swim the unknown. Don't try to go in if you don't plan on staying because I can't guarantee that I can let you out. Don't try me and test the waters. I don't need that. If you want, you can observe my waves from the shore. Don't dip, don't sail. I can't give you a safe passage. You might get shipwrecked. We will end up both broken. You will sink and you might be able to salvage your pieces but I know, I know you'll never be the same. And you'll blame me and I will say "I've warned you". If you're looking for a thrill, please not me. I can't promise to let you go when you became tired of the chaos I bring. I can't control my self. I'm toxic. So please, please just stay away. If you only want to experiment if you can fix the broken, cure a person, don't, don't, don't. I'm telling you now that you can't. So please, I don't want to be responsible for another disaster, for another nightmare. So stay away, stay away. Stay safe, I don't want you to regret me. I don't want to you to have that bitterness in your mouth whenever you think of me, because all I'll remind you of is wreckage and that piece of yourself I've robbed you of. I don't want let anyone down again. So leave me alone, and I'll let you be. Let us not hurt each other. I won't want to take a piece of your soul just because I have none.
I've learned to love darkness as if it is light
Learned not to chase what eluded my sight
So before you try and make me feel okay
Be reminded that I prefer the stillness of night than the buzzing of day
I've learned to enjoy the battles, the wounds, the scars
The monster, the demons, the way they are
We clash, we fight for this body, this mind
But their company, I can never leave behind.
