lyrics

I remember when you were mine
My teeth ground down in between the words of my bitter lies
Wanting you was out of line
The whisper in the woods eased my mind and stole all time

Away from from trust
I was running with the wolves and the leader of the pack was lust
I can’t hold on
To the promise that I made all my ambitions are gone

How could I let this happen
Scars were carved into the hallow air
I held my tongue until I touched the bottle
Your kiss was something I couldn’t bare

So I drank till I turned lose
I opened up and there was no battle when I told the truth
No I can’t blame you
But you’re a guilty party playing me like a fool

There was no one
To stop us when it became a little more than fun
I fell headfirst
Into your arms when you held me binding me like a curse

How could I let this happen
Scars were carved into the hallow air
I held my tongue until I touched the bottle
Your kiss was something I couldn’t bare

He left me there once we parted
He was tricky honey
Who will come find me then save me
I broke the clocks and divided
The right from the wrong then decided
To use all the bullets then hide it
And I was like

How could I let this happen
Scars were carved into the hallow air
I held my tongue until I touched the bottle
Your kiss was something I couldn’t bare
