__________________________________

As if it weren't enough to watch you walk away before
Now you kneel at my feet asking again for more

Just once more to taste my lips upon your own
One fatal step could rob me of my carefully built throne

I'd hoped I had forgotten what it was to have you near
you steal the breath from my lungs whispering curses in my ear

your touch is as cold as ice and i could never open to this
but i'll let you be my pawn as i have you believing in my kiss

I'll look past you blindingly through a path in your eyes
and by the time you understand I'll be through with all these lies

It's not I couldn't love you, but I'd done it once before
I thought I'd fight this battle right back, I was never your petty whore

The names you'd cursed, the words you shot shredded me like stone
Only one kiss I'd believed, solitary kiss only to own

I'll look over my shoulder at you broken on the earth
Maybe one day will see you are nothing of worth

Take this lesson with you, carve it in your skull
Never promise love to a lie until you know your role
