Analysis of Can't Live With This Pain
I painted the ground crimson
with my bleeding heart
Yet the pain didn't go away;
Come back and look at me
What misery you left me in.
I want this pain to go away
But it doesn't go alone
Insists that it takes its synonyms too,
Your memories and the myth of love.
Shall the pain stay any longer
I shall follow you into nothingness;
I want to live this life of mine
Because I know you would want me to.
I want to keep you alive
In every sense that isn't breathing
I want to tell the world that
People may leave
But they leave a mark.
