Looking At You Now

I've always been the last one to fall

Holding my heart under lock and key

Up in a tower standing so tall

 

It's Beating in Harmony

While i'm Living in ecstasy

Guarded from love

And all it's damning reverberations

 

Seeing you standing next you next to me

Takes the breath away from me

But your motives were all revolting

And now i'm stuck here hurting

 

Forced to live a lie

Sitting here begging to die

I was just another notch on your bedpost

And now you think you have the right to boast

 

Up and spinning away

My heart gives way

 

No more beating harmony 

Or living in ecstasy

Looking at you now really breaks me
