Once Bitten Twice Shy
I share my thoughts with you
The world's weight on my back
Romantic delusions spin
Afraid to face the facts
Staring you down as you frown
Gaze right to the bone
Will sing you a lullaby
It makes you feel less alone
And nothing fixes my brokenness
Will exaggerate my claims
It will make me feel better
About the monster I became
The dark days drag their feet
Weeks blur into one
Time my greatest weakness
Will suffering never be done?
Even more sorrowful than usual
Bitten by love
Now I'm shy
You give me hope for happiness
With glimmer in your eye
Terrified to get hurt again
