Not the Same

Arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder and it's been so long since the night I told her.

Please come closer and look at me harder.

You had me crying tears of liquid lying.

Burning at the stake I'm sorry but I wont make it.

I used to be in love with dying, but you got me to start trying.

I love you a lot a lot but let me confess that I'm not

The same person I was because

The flames have been suffocated and become more hated.

To you I devote myself for that I've withheld.

I'm yours, I'm mine, I'm yours, you're mine.
