Break

I close my eyes to hide from yours
And wish it all away
To go back and close the opened doors
And remove what I did say

That would be the better way
The path I did not choose
For in the end I always pick
The one that I will lose

And even though I think about
An altering of the past
I know the good he's given me
Is something built to last

So reason will not steer the course
I'll break myself to gain
Because through torture comes once more
The pleasure laced with pain.
