Something Is Still Scaring You

Unable to turn back, early morning finds me here again, The clocks still ticking with hands of the mannequin. Where winter sets in her lonely cold And frozen blue lips leave a story untold. And I closed my eyes but still fell to pieces At the words of the monster as he preaches With nothing left I ran away inside From all I loved, but they had lied. There could've been a way to get though his hate But too soon it seems you would be too late I took to drying those perfect tears Dishonest with myself, I marry my fears. Yet I could not force my heart to beat away from you but something, my love, is still there scaring you.
