If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
|
That what you had is shattered and wasted
|
Did you have to take it so far?
|
|
The truth exposed to love is devoured
|
And the ivory tower is coming down
|
I felt betrayed and order is broken
|
The wounds are open and bleeding out
|
|
But it¡¯s all I can do to carry on
|
It brings all I fear to life
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover
|
That what you had is shattered and wasted
|
Did you have to take it so far?
|
|
Should you have to throw it all away?
|
Did you have to shove it in my face?
|
Did you have to tear my world apart?
|
Did you have to take so selfishly?
|
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
|
Did you have to fall so very far?
|
|
The trigger¡¯s warm, the chamber is loaded
|
Lost in the moment. What went wrong?
|
There¡¯s nothing left this house has been broken
|
But still I¡¯m holding, I¡¯m holding on
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
You can see it in your love
|
The wounds are open and I¡¯m bleeding out
|
It¡¯s so real
|
|
[Chorus]
|
