The Misery

I write the lines you want me to
With the words I dare to use of all
The ones that you have taught me
Along the years
You cast a perfect shadow on the paper
Fade away with sunlight
I fear the way you know me
Love can leave a stain
You steal my only hope
And make me stay awake another night
I wish you bear with me, stay near me
When the autumn leaves have fallen
Solitude, my pain, the last thing left of me
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, if you only love me
Seven lonely lies
Written on deadwinter's night
Open the only book
With the only poem I can read
In blood I sign my name
And seal the midnight with a tear
Burn the paper
Every line for them I cried
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, if you only love me
I am the playwrite
And you are my crown
Make me cry for your love
Like you've done many time
So I know
I can't write these storylines without you
Lady pain, make me strong
Can't we be together without them forever
The words I write can only hurt you
Sorry for the rain
Thank you, my only one
You gave me this pain
I leave you gently on the floor
Take one step towards the door
Where's the letter never written
Goodnight now
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, if you only love me
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear, if you only love me
If you fall, I'll catch
If you love, I'll love
And so it goes, my dear
Don't be scared, you'll be safe
This I swear
If you only love me
