| Step inside the life of the man weak enough to follow you
|
| Bury all the strife of the heart that you have hollowed through
|
| Bury our love far, far away from this
|
| So you can become one with the walls again
|
| Scream for your father
|
| Go a little farther
|
| Cut a little harder
|
| But our fates are inked in pen
|
| That was then
|
| And this is the end of
|
| This phantom love
|
| Untied and severed
|
| I was never the one
|
| Is this what you call forever
|
| Made me promise
|
| I would never break your heart
|
| How was I to know that’s what you wanted from the start?
|
| Step inside the life of the girl that can do no wrong
|
| Her hands clasped 'round the knife she uses to carve her sad songs
|
| Wash your hands 'til the sinks stain red
|
| And I’m outta your head
|
| Just remember what I said
|
| We decided to just ignore
|
| Just can’t cut it anymore
|
| Just remember that I loved you more
|
| But that was then
|
| And this is the end of
|
| This phantom love
|
| Untied and severed
|
| I was never the one
|
| Is this what you call forever?
|
| Made me promise
|
| I would never break your heart
|
| How was I to know that’s what you wanted from the start?
|
| Outta control, how long you played me, playing a role
|
| I’ve been doin' this for a living
|
| Two halves don’t make a whole that’s not a given
|
| Go in twice, you sold two souls of children to the business
|
| Phantom love was always cold before the start and to the finish
|
| Turn from me, so stare and shoot
|
| I’ve lost my mind, you scared me too
|
| You’ve crossed that line, whose using who
|
| It’s nothing new, make peace, we’re fine
|
| I tried, I lied, to keep you mine
|
| That girl I love I just can’t find
|
| Trips me up so I can’t see if the messed up one is you or me
|
| See what this city has done to us
|
| Dreams torn apart like a blunderbuss
|
| A hundred gusts of west
|
| The wind has spread us thin
|
| Too much within
|
| Just don’t discuss
|
| I hold disgust
|
| I know you must
|
| But knife in hand, there’s still distrust
|
| I know you thrust
|
| The moment these words are spoken
|
| You can’t love, you only love to be broken
|
| This phantom love
|
| Untied and severed
|
| I was never the one
|
| Is this what you call forever?
|
| Made me promise
|
| I would never break your heart
|
| How was I to know that’s what you wanted from the start? |
