Love will always bring us back
You can take your foot off the gas, you can burn the candle
But love will show us how much more we can handle
You can cut the rope, you can avoid the addiction
But we will always be tethered, there will forever be friction
I'm cutting the rope
I'm burning the candle
I'm watching the fire go out
How could I once think
That my heart would just sink
As long as you were my shipwreck
How could I believe this
And Why would I grieve this
The love that left us tattered and tortured
I will not be a bystander to my own heart
And I will not turn cold
I refuse to be forced to change or even grow old
I have an open heart for a reason
I will always welcome love
But I have shut this particular door
And I won't look back, I won't lose track, not even once more
