You came into my vision like fire over glass,
I never would have let you in like I did unless you had.
You ran across my skin teasing every hair,
I never would have let you in if I knew it would feel this bad.
You stole my thoughts from me and replaced them with you,
I never would have let you in if I knew you would be so vacant.
I break like a dead tree as I bend to reach you in vain,
I never would have let you in if I knew you would just take it.
I feel the flesh burn and break from my bones as you walk over me,
I never would have let you in if I knew it would be this.
You're turning to gold right in front of me,
I never would have let you if I could have anticipated the kiss.
You flew in on gilded wings and broke my hope with one smile.
I never would have let you in but I did and I still would.

You came into my vision like fire over glass,
I never would have let you in like I did unless you had.
You ran across my skin teasing every hair,
I never would have let you in if I knew it would feel this bad.
You stole my thoughts from me and replaced them with you,
I never would have let you in if I knew you would be so vacant.
I break like a dead tree as I bend to reach you in vain,
I never would have let you in if I knew you would just take it.
I feel the flesh burn and break from my bones as you walk over me,
I never would have let you in if I knew it would be this.
You're turning to gold right in front of me,
I never would have let you if I could have anticipated the kiss.
You flew in on gilded wings and broke my hope with one smile.
I never would have let you in but I did and I still would.
