Lyrics
falling down again i saw your face, lying next to mine
and heard you crying out for someone else to save you this time
all the roles i'd played came crashing down around my head
and i knew then how much i hated all the love i felt for you
you trapped me in this part for so long that i couldn't even start
to say where you end and i begin
and the hardest part for me is not that you left me here
it's that i don't miss you anymore
all the blood you shed upon my bed came to be
a twisted symbol of what i thought love was meant to be
all this time i've spent doubting anything that didn't try
to squeeze the love, the life, the very breath right out of me
and i can see you now for what you really were
and what you weren't at all
and the hardest part is not that you devoured the core of me
it's that i wouldn't change a thing, even if i could
lying down again i saw your face dying next to mine
and heard you laughing out for someone else to love you this time
i just turned around and faded out without a said goodbye
and you knew then how much i hated being loved by you
'cause every time i spent the night holding up your head
i severed off another little piece of me
and the saddest part's not that you blame me for leaving when i did
it's that i blame myself for wanting to live
falling down again, i see your face lying next to mine
and hear you laughing out for someone else to save you this time
