Hellbound Heart

HELLBOUND HEART

I’m counting back to the days, Before it all fell away.

I remember everything you said.

While I was trying to hide You were bleeding me dry,

But I’m taking back every drop I shed.

I tried to speak of the pain, but there was ice in your veins.

Now there’s no flesh left upon these bones.

You know how it goes, Better the devil you know,

but I’m the devil that you don’t.

I’m not gonna hate ‘cause I’m not like you,

I’m changing my fate just to spite you.

You can try and take it all, but I’m unbreakable.

Tamed the wolves you threw me to.

Even when I’m down and out, no one had a doubt

That I would stand and see it through.

I’m just tryin’ to survive, keep the fire alive,

Staring death in the face through the dead-lights.

You can chain me down, tear my soul apart,

but you won’t break this hellbound heart.

I’m moving on to the days, After your memory fades.

I’m forgetting every word you said.

I’m swimming out of the dark, Escaping all of the sharks.

‘Cause I know they’re waiting to be fed.

I’m not gonna hate ‘cause I’m not like you,

I’m changing my fate just to spite you.

You don’t know it now but you saved me

‘cause the hell you gave is gonna make me.

Chorus

Through the pleasure and the pain. I survived it all the same.

And though I am in hell, I have made this for myself.

Through the silence and the tears, standing up to all my fears.

Now everything I do is all in spite of you.

I’m not gonna hide within the darkness,

It don’t matter how scarred my heart is.

You don’t know it now but you saved me

‘cause the hell you gave is gonna make me.

Solo

Chorus

This hellbound heart. This hellbound heart.
