3.Death At The Heart Of Salvation

You grab me by the heart, wring it dry,

But you don't let go, until I'm about to die.

You drain me of love, replace it with rage,

I'd kill you if it weren't for this emotional cage.

I gave you everything, I waited so long, 

I thought you gave a damn, but I guess I thought wrong.

Already ran away, I'm never going back,

Because I know if I do, you won't cut me some slack.

Forever the reason I run, forever the reason I burn,

But forever coming back, because I never learn,

See you still don't understand, why I'm always forgiving,

Life isn't about winning, it's about peacefully living.

Something you don't understand, because you're bitter and cold,

That's why you will wither, decay, and grow old.
