Dead To You
stumbling over forgotten lies
staring into these cold night skies
emotions running backward
thoughts, misunderstood
you took this away from me
turned it into jealousy
spite filled my bleeding heart
you split me apart
stole everything i knew
spun another point of view
fooling myself again
in this land of pretend
try to wake me from these tears
cleanse my mind of bitter fears
but all i see is this torment
one more argument
you break me so often
thought my emotions would soften
crumble and burn under your hate
though it was fate
they hardened to this life
hardened to the knife
but numbed to love, so right
it helped me through the dying night
you stole my love from me
took it from so deep
turned back and spat
take it back
this pain i can no longer hold
hold this memory, have to let it unfold
feel this blade against my skin
let my feelings out from within
scream until the blood runs dry
but no matter how i try
i just cant find a way to say
i'm dead to you... is that okay?
