I always thought I wanted a love like this
The diamond shines
And everything wrong is below the surface
You can't see me bleed
You can only see the love I give
You can see that I am cared about

It's her slide the ring onto my finger
Cold and delicate
neither one of us were fit for the ring
Neither one of us cared
Because if you love someone
You'll do anything to get there

When it locked into place I felt
nothing but happiness
Because even though I can never leave
I will never be left
And I will never sleep alone
Or wake up empty again

My finger pulsed and ached
The same pain that broke my heart
But I would never let it stop
The moment I'm without the pain
Im without my proof

Eventually the only thing left to do
Was get rid of the infection
Cut away the broken bits
I had to remove the finger

I never got it back
I'm not a lizard
I am human
Life doesn't work like that
So I'm sorry
That I can't hold your hand
And touch your face
The same as everyone else
