I have walked away from love
It’s cold reaching hand
Falls behind

Pictures strewn
Across this ravaged waste
Telling tales
Of something
That will never be

I have walked away
From your cold eyes
Your hands
Rough and burning
Leaving me a bloody mess

I opened up your mind
The second to touch you
I taught you how to fly
You broke my heart
While riding the wind
I led you to

Nothing can be the same
No-one denies
The connection

But you ran
From the love I gave
Ran into false promises
Glittering jewels
And empty loves

I ran
Trying to escape reality
The words you said
Haunting my every step

My love
That was free
But you turned away
Said love was nothing
Live for now

So I changed my tune
Became a mocking bird
And flew
Into your trap
Made with my own net
Woven with my care
Placed with you cunning

I drank from your cup
But all I have is a bitter aftertaste
And daemons chasing memory
With what could have been

Such a line
Between love and obsession
Between hate and pain

Chip by chip
My heart
Has been torn apart

I’ve been living
On borrowed time
For many many years
