You’ve taken my soul, You’ve taken my heart, And I don’t know how to get out of this hole. I can’t be here with you, tied to this guilt, still I lay here pierced on the hilt. This is my punishment, this is my pay for treating you like **** and cheating my way...through life as I lead you, lead you astray. I’ll focus my energy on stress and this pain, so that I can try not to hurt you, hurt you again. I spend my days, wishing I could go back, back to the start. I focus on art, to soothe every ache. But really there’s this guilty devil on my back, I’m praying just for the sake. You’ve taken my soul, You’ve taken my heart, And I don’t know how to get out of this hole.

You’ve taken my soul, You’ve taken my heart, And I don’t know how to get out of this hole. I can’t be here with you, tied to this guilt, still I lay here pierced on the hilt. This is my punishment, this is my pay for treating you like **** and cheating my way...through life as I lead you, lead you astray. I’ll focus my energy on stress and this pain, so that I can try not to hurt you, hurt you again. I spend my days, wishing I could go back, back to the start. I focus on art, to soothe every ache. But really there’s this guilty devil on my back, I’m praying just for the sake. You’ve taken my soul, You’ve taken my heart, And I don’t know how to get out of this hole.
