The River

Hear me out
I own the world
I'm not a savior now
And you allowed
Made of love
You know we hated ourselves
And you remind
We are the window full of starving eyes
I hated love, but love has made me blind
I love you darling, won't you leave behind
My crooked fingers and my hateful eyes
I have this hatred yet it burns inside
Am I to die for all my fucking pride
To die
So bad
Would it be so bad?
Oh
I said I
Said I
Dreamed of love
And love, can't get love
Trip me up
I don't mind
And hope
Hope is when
I get scared
Of disappointment
Oh
I said I
Said I
Dreamed of love
And love, can't get love
Trip me up
I don't mind
And hope
Hope is when
I get scared
Of disappointment
