All the love letters written on tear stained paper
Smeared my hearts ink across the blank pages
My heart's broke for the last time
You promised truth
and really made me believe allΒ Β your lies
I thought love was suppose to be free...
but the cost for yours was way too steep and
It hurts but I don't think it can get much worse
Being so invisibly desperate for you

I took my chances on a bruised and beaten heart
Guess I got what I deserved, after all
Forgiving is hard to do
Now pain is all I have to show
You took my heart and you broke my soul

Your urge to break loose was just too strong
And I've almost forgotten what the color of your eyes were
and your scars or how you got them
Seldom did your words reign true
When you were failing me and
I was just trying to save you

You were always so sad
hiding behind your mask
And I came so far with my soul
But you never seen the gem within me
I could of been your happy ever after
But I'm only human and though
I tried hard not to, I crashed and burnt out

The words from your tongue were knives in my heart
You built me up just to tear me apart
I just wanted to turn your mechanical heart back on
I held up the weight of your world and mine times three
Just trying to be your everything but
Somehow I lost the love I loved the most

I've learned how to live half alive now for what it's worth
I wish I would of missed the first time we kissed
because you've been nothing but a broken promise since
I'm left like a smoking gun now that all our love is gone
I thought we found some magic
But you left me neglected, how tragic

Now I walk away and let it be
Ignore my instincts as I'm led astray
Another bend, another break
I'm not sure where I go from here
Between wet pages and all this smeared ink
A tragic, lost en devour our love has come to be
