As Long As They Need You

how unacceptable.
finding a way around the rules.
bending the laws
and stretching the truth.
sinking your own ship 
and saving the crew.
stabbing their backs
and sewing the wounds.
rip them like paper
then glue them together.
tear them apart
so you can give them your heart.
be the villian then the hero
as long as they need you.
the more pain you create 
the more souls you can save.
your two hearts 
with the same beat
keep them all wondering 
which you they'll meet.
Should they be afraid?
and thats the price you pay.
