I come close to you
I push you away
I tell you come closer, it's safe where I am
I lead you astray

Nothing shelters me
From the wounds that you cause
You are just another being
One more to emphasise my flaws

Oh but you are more
I have cherished you and layed down my life at the foot of your bed
You stabbed me in the back
Shot a bullet through my head

I lay here slain by your love
A victim of the pain that I have subjected myself to
You say give up, they say let go
Yet still I am lost, not a slight clue what to do

I distance myself
You don't notice a thing
I guess mindless obedience
Makes the girl of your Dreams

I try to speak out
You sensor every phrase
Is this a conversation
Or a closed maze?

You slice open through my heart
The pieces on the floor
Only to aggravate you
When I slice yours more
