Define Love

Violently you whisper Childishly you lead me on You paint your empty picture As you scare away the break of dawn You call yourself a work of art I fail to see your meaning Your presence scares the shades The shades of red, your tainting red Oh, pick up your pen Finish what you started Erase, erase those lines Or darken, darken cause I’m blind Lie! I lie! The hidden beauty of your wings Just captivate me That face of yours just takes my breath away It scares the daylight out of me You call yourself a work of art I failed to see at the start Your world, my world collide I see you Do you see me? Frightfully you come near Quietly you disappear I paint my empty heart and I end up with you just smiling there Oh, I pick up my pen I finished what I started Erasing is no easy thing Your face defines my everything
