Love Is Cancer

Looking out while breathing in

run my hands across your pale skin

for the lust that's no longer there

I close my eyes and say a prayer

Things will go better on the other side

I won't give up

I've too much pride

In my heart,

I can't let go.

Without you I cannot grow

I look inside to calm the war

My heart, my mind, my inner core

All the questions left unanswered

they eat at me just like a cancer

So confused of love that's lost

all the lines we've never crossed

all the things we've never felt

your heart of ice will never melt

Everything you ever told me was lies,

you kept it all behind your disguise

Finally the truth comes out,

Finally you'll do without

I say I care, but I don't mean a word

I'll never be sorry for what had occurred

I put my heart out on the line

you trample it down to make your wine

Looking out while breathing in

run my hands across your pale skin

for the lust that's no longer there

I close my eyes and say a prayer

Things will go better on the other side

I won't give up

I've too much pride

In my heart,

I can't let go.

Without you I cannot grow

To walk away from bitter fate

to start again

a clean slate

Rid myself of all my past

but this bitter taste will always last

I see the scars you've left in my soul

but you'll never see it's like your name tattooed in flesh

your name, your game will always last

Looking out while breathing in

run my hands across your pale skin

for the lust that's no longer there

I close my eyes and say a prayer

Things will go better on the other side

I won't give up

I've too much pride

In my heart,

I can't let go.

Without you I cannot grow
