You destroyed me with one simple look
Eyes collide and the universe empties itself out
Floating in ether with stare unblinking
Who will back out first I wonder

The game we play is a dangerous one
You make the rules and I move along
Addicted to you I follow blindly
Into this dangerous path you trace for me

I wonder how you knew
That humouring me would be the way in
And I cannot get you out
I cannot push you away
From the little nest in my heart where you stay
Planning your way in
Deeper and deeper in

The lights are blinking furiously
Sending alarms across my body
But I am tuned to you I don't want to hear
The alarm ringing I'm addicted, I fear
Do not trick me into loving you
You know I'll be hurt if you do
Take that chance and jump aboard
On the crazy train we ride abroad
In a country where I am no longer afraid
To say the words that hurt me before

Give me faith
Don't let me down
I don't know if I can handle
Being left again this time around
I wrote this two months ago. Two weeks ago you let me down. Should have listened to myself.
