Charred Heart

Watch me turn away as the corpses burn away.
Watch me stand unfazed as what I loved is razed.
You never knew what you turned me into,
After all the things that we've been through,
Just for you to turn and say, "I hate you."

Every time I hear our song it makes me want to cry
From grief and anger
From how we never got to say goodbye.
It makes me want to die.

But I'm still here,
And my only fear
Is that I'll always be stuck
Waiting for changes
And fighting through rages
And you, my dear,
Should go from here
With a smile on your face.
I can't be happy any other way.

The cartridge unloaded,
The casings lie smoking,
But my will trudges on.
Throw knives toward me,
And they'll strike, but you'll see
That I've done far worse to myself.
And my life means less than your health.

Smile and laugh while you can,
And hold on tightly to your best friend,
Because when the end comes
You'll wish that it never happened.

The guys that you'll meet will be stronger than me,
They'll push you and shove you for love.
I held you tenderly and you turned from me,
For who could love a shadow like me?

Now trade tomorrow for today,
Tell me everything's okay,
And I will tell you why I am in love.
There's more to you than pain.
