Love Is Cancer

Looking out while breathing in
run my hands across your pale skin
for the lust that's no longer there
I close my eyes and say a prayer
Things will go better on the other side
I won't give up
I've too much pride
In my heart,
I can't let go.
Without you I cannot grow

I look inside to calm the war
My heart, my mind, my inner core
All the questions left unanswered
they eat at me just like a cancer
So confused of love that's lost
all the lines we've never crossed
all the things we've never felt
your heart of ice will never melt

Everything you ever told me was lies,
you kept it all behind your disguise
Finally the truth comes out,
Finally you'll do without
I say I care, but I don't mean a word
I'll never be sorry for what had occurred
I put my heart out on the line
you trample it down to make your wine

Looking out while breathing in
run my hands across your pale skin
for the lust that's no longer there
I close my eyes and say a prayer
Things will go better on the other side
I won't give up
I've too much pride
In my heart,
I can't let go.
Without you I cannot grow

To walk away from bitter fate
to start again
a clean slate
Rid myself of all my past
but this bitter taste will always last
I see the scars you've left in my soul
but you'll never see it's like your name tattooed in flesh
your name, your game will always last

Looking out while breathing in
run my hands across your pale skin
for the lust that's no longer there
I close my eyes and say a prayer
Things will go better on the other side
I won't give up
I've too much pride
In my heart,
I can't let go.
Without you I cannot grow
