lyrics

I'd like to think that my life is perfect
But without you it'd be no where near it.
I hold an intense fire in my heart.
It burns for you, so I hope you'll hear it.
When you love something, you have to hold it tight
Get a solid grip and never let go.
Smother it until it can no longer breathe
Cover it up and never allow the world to see.
It must be kept a secret, covered and hidden from the
outside no matter from what view
Because there's nothing it could offer the world that
it couldn't just give to you.
It must be kept a secret, covered and hidden from the
outside no matter from what point view
Because there is absolutely nothing that it could offer
this world that it couldn't just give to you.
I've gained quite an obsession
It would be the definition of an understatement to
say that im obsessed.
Day after day I start with less and less.
I've reached the point where I've started with little
and you've still bested me
Stay for the most part quiet about my nicest
possession
Near nothing is left but I anticipate the day you
take the rest of me.
Or at least I think so.
My heart sputters.
What doesn't kill you doesn't make you stronger
I'm not dead, no, just fucking weak.
The fire dwindles, awaiting a rekindling never to come.
You think you own me?
It's not quite ownership.
Always acted on my motives, most dont notice
All the time and breath you put in, how could you
stomach to waste it?
I miss you so much, I get violently sick just
thinking about you.
Every time I close my eyes, I see your face.
It would be fine if you were mine, but that is
not quite the case.
(LUKE BOISMIER GUITAR SOLO)
Sometimes I go looking for things that aren't there
Searching for some sort of comfort because
the truth is
I know I'm a reasonable person, but these
expectations are not
Things always look perfect from the outside
of a window
But they aren't.
With each passing day, I'm being drained.
My heart goes cold.
What doesn't kill you doesn't make you stronger
'cause I'm not dead but I no longer love.
