Lyrics
v1
i tried to save you from these demons
wished i could have thrown them all away
i thought i locked them in my mirror
they're staring back at me today
v2
dont need 4 walls to build a prison
no heavy chains to tie you down
a bitter word can be like metal
an icy glance a thorny crown
chorus
how could i have been so cruel
where did i search to find that fool
how could i have been so cruel
so many times
v3
i lay myself upon love's alter
i flay my skin to be renewed
a bed of nails will be my comfort
the light of mercy be imbued
v4
through tis darkened world i'll wander
just a mendicant for lover's lost
i'll tell my tale to disbelievers
to save their hearts at any cost
chorus
how could i have been so cruel
where did i search to find that fool
how could i have been so cruel
so many times
