Lyrics:PARTNER 1:
I remember a time when I loved your smile
Then you broke my heart and I couldn't laugh for a while
You use to hold me in your arms
They kept me safe from harm
Then you became something I couldn't stand
Left me burried in the Broken WastelandPARTNER 2:
How could you say that
I layed everything down but you just pushed back
Bitch what you're giving me they call a heart attack
So why dont we fast track
To the days when love was something you lackedPARTER 1:
How couldn't I love you
Even though everything you said was never true
You ripped at me
Tore at me
And left me beat and broken
Gasping and choking
Losing everything that I can
Turning to dust in the broken wastelandPARTER 2:
My paradise has always been the wasteland
But you never seemed to want to understand
Everytime I hit you
Beat you
Broke you
It made me feel things I never knew
You never knew me
It made me feel free
Its something I just need to achieve
So dont you ever leavePARTNER 1:
I can't break free
You're all I know
That's all that's me
Stuck to you
Worse than glue
You seared me with your brand
Left for dead in the Broken WastelandPARTNER 2:
So don't you try to escape
PARTNER 1:
Then don't try to break
BOTH:
Me all alone in the sand
Burried together in the Broken Wasteland
