Litost

What have i done

With my heart on the floor

I must be out of my mind

To come back begging for more.

But if you stay,

If you just stay for the night,

Swear that i’m yours

Then i’ll prove that i’m right.

And these flies kept me sleeping,

All my fears on their wings.

And your grandfather clock is still ticking,

But the chime never rings.

And how long must i stay,

Well i lay by your side.

Just to say that i’m yours,

When you’ll never be mine.

This love i can hold,

Swallow my soul

Dragging me down.

There is blood on the covers

From the curses we utter to each other

You played your part in this.

Oh i play hide and go seek

Safe behind your venire

Does it carry a burden baby

Makes it all disappear

But those marks on your thighs

Don’t they sting when you bleed

Its the way that you are,

And the way i’ll forever be

This love i can hold,

Swollow my soul

Dragging me down.

There is blood on the covers

From the curses we utter to each other

You played your part

In his love i can hold,

Swallow my soul

Dragging me,

And i swear i’ll stay

But i just can’t forgive you

And i’ll never be whole again
