The Taste of Bittersweet

To feel pleasure or to feel pain funny how they feel the same You butter me up and buy me a smile the monster inside you I forget for a while Tearful nights and angry dawns yet you believe "nothing's wrong" Close the wound and hide the scar so no one knows who you really are You say sorry countless times playing your game and fooling my mind So I build a fortress around my heart walls like rock you can't tear apart Let your fury rise and then fall but I'll show you no fear behind my wall They say love hurts and so I stay but in the end a price you'll pay
