I know that you have tried

I saw the scars

I saw what’s left in the shadow of your heart

I held you up to see the sun

To steal the stars

But it all just disappeared before your eyes

I saw how much it hurt you

Stained by lies

But I never knew what you had in your mind

I didn’t know

how to still your mind

I left it too long to correct what they had done

And it’s too late

To change what’s done

All I’ve left now is regret that you have gone

And in a moment I will turn you round

Keep you safe and keep you bound

From fear and worry you’ll be free

And the only choice I’ll leave is me

(ch)

A half meant smile

Trick or treat

In denial

Hide and seek

A faded whisper

A hollow breath

I’ll love you forever

I’ll love you to death

A memory locked and hidden away

In the hope it will disappear

Seeping through the bloodied wounds

Returning with never healed fear

You want to know my feelings

And what I keep inside

But inside my life is breaking

Inside my heart has died

You want to hear my fears

But my fears are mine to know

‘cos when your fears are used against you

You’re better off alone

(ch)

Breaking, burning, seething, yearning

I’ll fall apart alone

When nothing good remains inside

You’re better off unknown

So inside I’ll keep the violence

Inside I’ll keep the pain

So when the demons overwhelm me

There’ll be...
