Broken Wings And Faltering Friendships (Song Lyrics)
It’s just like you said, “only friends hurt friends.”
So will you slit my throat? It’ll be your recompense.
I’ll hand you such a rusty blade that on it, you won’t see a drop of blood.
But as you close your eyes and thrust, you’ll be taken in a crimson flood.
Please don’t ever quit this task. It’s really just the least that you could do.
As I leave this realm of earth for good, don’t you dare follow me on through.
Does it seem we’re slipping out of touch?
Do you think that we could work things out?
With your lies, you broke me down so much.
The two of us are through. I have no doubt.
Who are you to say, that your strife is based upon my being?
Don’t I do it all for you? I’ve complied with every plea.
Your response: you stabbed me in the front. Left me gasping for a breath of air.
After all these years of love, I guess for me you didn’t care.
Though you front such innocence, in your eyes I can see such monstrous hate.
And though I knew demise was coming, I still set myself up for this fate.
Time apart from you . . . Is proving harder than you’d think.
I’ve never felt so lost. Were I an island, surely I would sink.
If you were kind, you’d give me short-lived hope. A silver lining only I could see.
Instead you left me with this rope, and directions to the nearest tree.
Over time I’ve learned to stay away. Pain and torture’s all that you will bring.
Had I courage to defy your words, I’d get up and spread my broken wings.
Does it seem we’re slipping out of touch?
Do you think that we could work things out?
With your lies, you broke me down so much.
The two of us are through. I have no doubt.
So will you slit my throat? It’ll be your recompense.
I’ll hand you such a rusty blade that on it, you won’t see a drop of blood.
But as you close your eyes and thrust, you’ll be taken in a crimson flood.
Please don’t ever quit this task. It’s really just the least that you could do.
As I leave this realm of earth for good, don’t you dare follow me on through.
Does it seem we’re slipping out of touch?
Do you think that we could work things out?
