Litost

What have I done?

With my heart on the floor

I must be out of my mind

To come back begging for more

But if you stay

If you just stay for the night

Swear that I'm yours

And I'll prove that I'm right

And these flies kept me sleeping

All my fears on their wings

And your grandfather clock is still ticking

But the chime never rings

And how long must I stay?

Will I lay by your side?

Just to say that I'm yours

Yours, and you'll never be mine

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

And there's blood on the covers

From the curses we uttered

To each other

You played your part in this

Why play hide-and-go-seek?

Safe behind your veneer

Does it bury your burden baby

Makes it all disappear

And those marks on your thighs

Don't they sting when you bleed?

It's the way that you are

And the way I'll forever be

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

And there's blood on the covers

From the curses we uttered

To each other

You played your part in this

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me

And I swear I'll stay with you

But I just can't forgive you

But I'll never be whole again
