I thought he'd taught me everything
I'd ever need to know
About being cold and heartless
But, damn, there was room to grow
Because where he damaged my body
You, love, damaged my soul
And he taught me that nightmares
Come shaded, dripping blood
While you taught me that nightmares
Come in shades of hope and love
So when you tell our story
And you color me insane
Make sure you also tell them
You helped me be this way
For without you I'd never
Have known disdain like this
Or that the fakest of fairytales
Come wrapped in true love's kiss.
