Ice is swiftly creeping in Freezing around my numb heart Taking hold of what’s left of me Making the edges cold and sharp You were my last link to that world And I tried so hard to be that girl But in the end that was not enough Now I’m afraid you were the last chance I had Of ever feeling love Then the door was thrown wide open I try to keep the apocalypse from coming in But if I were a betting man I’d say it would win Death walks in and sits at the table I want to scream but I am unable And he says to let things take their course As I ride away on his pale horse Because giving up on love is so easy When you become as jaded as me There’s something wrong When you find out he left you for a younger girl And you’re just glad it wasn’t because of your personality And you could get angry that you weren’t the one But really there was nothing you could have done It was doomed from the start But you were so god **** willing to give up your heart Because you were tired of feeling so empty Now I’m cold and alone As I fear is always meant to be I feel the vessels harden, the beating slowing And there’s nothing left in me I feel the change from within I try to keep the apocalypse from coming in But I know I’m no match for it So I open the door and let it in Death tells me not to be afraid These are the debts that must be paid And even if I don’t deserve it, it could be worse As I grin feeling my new power, riding away on my pale horse.

Ice is swiftly creeping in Freezing around my numb heart Taking hold of what’s left of me Making the edges cold and sharp You were my last link to that world And I tried so hard to be that girl But in the end that was not enough Now I’m afraid you were the last chance I had Of ever feeling love Then the door was thrown wide open I try to keep the apocalypse from coming in But if I were a betting man I’d say it would win Death walks in and sits at the table I want to scream but I am unable And he says to let things take their course As I ride away on his pale horse Because giving up on love is so easy When you become as jaded as me There’s something wrong When you find out he left you for a younger girl And you’re just glad it wasn’t because of your personality And you could get angry that you weren’t the one But really there was nothing you could have done It was doomed from the start But you were so god **** willing to give up your heart Because you were tired of feeling so empty Now I’m cold and alone As I fear is always meant to be I feel the vessels harden, the beating slowing And there’s nothing left in me I feel the change from within I try to keep the apocalypse from coming in But I know I’m no match for it So I open the door and let it in Death tells me not to be afraid These are the debts that must be paid And even if I don’t deserve it, it could be worse As I grin feeling my new power, riding away on my pale horse.
