I forgot the reason why I'm still living such a life; One without a single part I like.
I had to take some time. I had to find out why all the ones I fall in love with never think it's right.
But things have gotten bad and I blame it on this curse. I thought that hiding all these scars might keep things from getting worse.
But if you always have a lie to explain the reasons why dreams always fall short, I would practice sadness.
This is it, this is the last time. It's just never worth it. As quickly as the feeling comes, it's gone. And the one to come, it's scarred me so.
But things have gotten bad and I blame it on this curse. I thought that hiding all these scars might keep things from getting worse. But if you always have a lie to keep yourself in line, eventually you'll stray without ever knowing why.
So tie my arms down and hang my heart up. Sew my eyes close and stitch my mouth shut. 'Cause the touch, the feel, the sight or sound, all could make me think about this love...and I'll never love again.
I saw a shooting star but it shot right through my sense. I've wasted my one wish. Oh it's hard to think that all along, the fight you fought so hard could all be wrong; could this have all been wrong?
But things have gotten bad and I blame it on this curse. I thought that hiding all these scars might keep things from getting worse. But if you always have a lie to keep yourself in line, eventually you'll stray without ever knowing why.
So tie my arms down and hang my heart up. Sew my eyes close and stitch my mouth shut.
'Cause I can't afford to talk about what nobody can know for now. 'Cause talking leads to love...and I'll never love again.
