lyrics

Get you out of my life. Get you our of my heart. I’ve been trying to stop. I wish you wouldn’t start with those beautiful eyes, and that beautiful smile that’s been feeding me lies. Guess I’ll stay for a while. You ask what’s on my mind, like you didn’t know. With this pitiful love, how could I not show you the way to take me down?

It’s that look in your eyes that made me think you could love me. Is it better to live in a lie or to die in our honesty? Just another kiss, I think I’d be fine. Because falling in love wouldn’t hurt if you could catch me.

Take a year of my life, take ten more from my heart. I’d be your faithful love, but that isn’t my part in this blackhearted play that you’ve written for me. With this pitiful love, how could I not see what you have been hiding? That you never wanted me, but here I am. I’ll hold you inside me. I’ll show you the way to take me down.
