I know deep down she still has a heart that beats
But lately love feels so strange
cold and numb are her feelings  
beyond all the scars is a beautiful smile

her last lover buried her heart
he left her with a wrist full of signatures and a body full of insecurities
she is a product of failed relationships and broken promises  

If only she can let me love her
the way I know how to
if only she can let me heal her insecurities
if and only if she can let me in
then for this love
I am willing to give up all of me to gain all of her

But lately she feels distant
Every kiss misplaced
as if I am not her one and only
This feeling of numbness
leaves me feeling lonely
Wondering what happened to my lover
Is her heart being shared with another
Am I a victim of love or a hopeless romantic holding on to promises laced in beautiful kisses
Fake smiles, and cold hugs, counting down the time till she unwinds, walking on eggshells
Wondering when do I get to in hale while in hell
If only she knew how I feel
