Left broken
When you look me in the eye,
You could see the emotions you incite,
Had felt the burning fire you ignite,
Immoral thoughts of the night.
You took me up the highest storey
Intriguing me with all your stories
All things you did had me falling
Never thought you'd have me running
Now that fire leaves scars
Imprinting on me endless marks
Again and again I beg please
But I don't know if it will ever seize
I waited upon you in tears
The thought of you leaving scares
You left me alone with my fears
Hope you'll have me running down the stairs
Why make me go through this pain?
Fighting myself to keep me sane
If you'd been easy to erase
I would have gone over for days
My shadow has caught up with me
Trying to come into replace me
Handing me my corpse to bury
I took it being so edgy
I sat outside till the heavens seized the rain
Hoping the rain could wash away this stain of pain
They began to say maybe she's already insane
Go tell that to the man who made it go this way,
He promised me, heaven and hell he would forever stay,
Now,now I have to fight to keep me sane
My ear, it tingles from imaginery unending screams
My eyes, drained of tears now my eye bleeds
Why! why had I given into the fall!?
I thought I had control of it all
Being once at my beck and call
Now I know I never had anything at all
They were all lies and tricks
Gave you my heart with a tip
Being so polite when he speaks
Now I sent myself down a bottomless pit
I hope my broken heart remains with you
Hurting you the way that I do
I will by all means
I'll laugh at the turn of tables
My heart is bleeding,it lied
I know I helped in the healing,I tried
I'm through, through and through
Never again will it be you
